I was expecting a blockbuster here.. and I got crap. Blow was better than this movie; much better. What was soo special? I found it VERY slow and dull most of the time.. not to mention hard to follow in the beginning.
The story wasn't compelling, or even exactly interesting. It was funny at times, and nice double crosses at times.. but besides that nothing.

It wasn't a bad movie.. but it wasn't hte blockbuster I was expecting</div>

I can't watch Traffic with a straight face, I keep picturing that guy's roll in Next Friday. :P

I saw Traffic last week.. What the fuck was so special about that?

The slow pace is appropriate for this kind of movie. And the story was the best thing about IMO; how was told through the viewpoints of the dealers, users, anti-drug leaders, etc.
