Traffic is a very powerful and scary film. It is also very honest about drugs, and the lives of people who have been basically ruined because of them, the best film of it's kind since Pulp Fiction.
The story is amazing, well the stories are amazing because there are about three different stories, and many lead characters in each one, this would have ruined most films. But with a screenplay this good you could have almost any story and it would be great, the dialogue is amazing. The screenwriter also seems to understand all the different angles of the drug world as well as all the different places this film shows. The acting is fantastic. Benicio Del Toro, Michael Douglas, Erika Christensen, and Topher Grace are the standouts, I was pleasently surprised by the fact that the last two can actually act. The Oscar winning direction is amazing, Steven Soderbergh does anamazing job, and understands everything perfectly. The visual effects are great, the way they tinted the different stories different colors was amazing.
