Variety -
Enormously ambitious and masterfully made, Traffic represents docudrama-style storytelling at a very high level.

It is a remarkable achievement in filmmaking, a beautiful and brutal work.

L.A. Weekly -

Baltimore Sun -
It's every bit as thrilling and engrossing as the best spy thriller or cop flick.
