Traffic

I was interested in Soderbergh’s more adventurous films, because of Sex, Lies, and Videotape.
Taut and suspenseful, and the large cast of characters is fun to negotiate. Lots of scenes have lots of punch. It feels a bit as if a serious, complex topic is being mined for its entertainment possibilities, which would be okay, except that we would want the serious, complex topics to be mind for its artistic possibilities. The politician’s mid-speech falter seems somewhat unprepared for and unbelievable.
