DVD Verdict Review - Traffic: Criterion Collection |
 | | Unlike Darren Aronofsky's psychological exploration of the roots of addiction in Requiem for a Dream, which came out the same year as Traffic, Soderbergh's film is more interested in the sociological terrain of drugs. |
 | | Taking its cue from the British mini-series Traffik, Stephen Gaghan's rambling screenplay breaks down into three major plot threads, each of which director Soderbergh (acting as his cinematographer) color-codes for easy access. |
 | | Michael Douglas leads in the blue section of the film, as a politician who knows nothing about drug culture, but must learn the hard way when he discovers his daughter's addiction. |
