Page 1 of TRAFFIC

i have just bought traffic and can i say it was an excelent film on an excelent disc but it was sadly let down by the extras. A featurette, photo gallery and tailers isnt enuf 4 the money we pay

but despite the lack of extras you should get this film

I was rather disappointed with the film. Not that I didn`t like it. Perhaps it was one of those occasions when everyone raves on about how good a film is, which gives you an image of a super-dooper film. Only to have your hopes dashed when you find it`s not as super-dooper as you came to believe. But an ok film instead.

I found it difficult to get imbedded into the storylines. Whenever I felt that I was getting close to `being in amongst it all`: the storyline changed and I lost it again. Kind of like trying to run up a slippery slope. I felt that it was just poking about for a story, instead of having something that all ties up nicely in the end without any bits sticking out - something to get hold of and fully comprehend.

But it`s just an opinion, mind!

I thought the TV series was a lot better. More time to develop the storylines and Bill Patterson and Lindsay Duncan are far better than Michael Douglas or Catherine Zeta Jones. Interestingly dispite the fact it was made over eleven years ago, the whole colour-coded filters thing which people got excited about in the film made its first appearence in the tv version.
