This film is rough. It really makes me feel sad after watching it. Steven Soderbergh really puts his all into this film, it's powerful, moving and wonderfully acted. Everyone should give this a chance.

Excellent acting, direction, and dialouge. Definate must see.

It does an effective job of showing the political and emotional aspect of the war on drugs, including the corruption of various governmental agencies. It also features solid plotlines with good acting from pretty much everyone involved. The direction is interesting and unique, but it failed to truly impact me emotionally. It's technically fantastic, but a little dry emotionally.

very well made, great acting, great cinematography. created some great intensity but remained realistic. in the end very satisfying. loved the colors too.

saw it looong time ago... cant remember much...

Soderbergh creates three separate stories but not all feel completely developed. I was more interested with the Judge’s story then the Mexico story but just as you’re getting into it, it jumps somewhere else. The plot was hard to follow at points and while you’re trying to figure out what happened, you’ve moved on to another story. The performances save the movie. It is a great ensemble cast and everyone holds their own. The choice in lighting for the different locations was also a good move by adding some symbolism to the multiple stories. But over all I’d say Crash is a more interesting film with a crisper and concrete story. I guess that’s why it won Best Picture and Traffic didn’t.
