Traffic
This was a disjointed segment film piece that brought its various plot elements together in the ending, sort of like Pulp Fiction, but without any humor.
It is a serious commentary on the corruption and greed that fuels the drug trafficking, cartell warfare, and murder that plague our nation. The movie gives you a lot to think about and doesn’t hesitate to kill main characters and so forth.
Some of it was filmed on my hometown city’s very streets (San Diego) and even at the courthouse where I served my turn at jury duty, not to mention at local parks and beaches.
The movie’s also set in Tiajuanna, Washington, D.C., and Ohio (near Cleveland or Cincinatti I might guess).
Michael Douglas, Katherine Zeta-Jones, Dennis Quaid, and more star. I’ve seen the black cop before, but I can’t place him at the moment. But it was quite a movie – melancholy too – in the tone that Miami Vice often was – but lacking the rock n’ roll. It was almost documentary in that aspect.
Traffic is an interesting movie and requires multiple viewings to fully take every plot point in and understand the twists and turns in it.
I love how a pregnant mother turns into a ruthless woman capable of directing a drug cartell hit to destroy the prosecution’s case against her husband.
