I loved this film (I watched the original British version). All 5 actors are very good and it is very believable. The music is epic too! (I love all Trance/House/Techno music so I was completely hooked). This Movie has left me in a positiveI loved this film (I watched the original British version). All 5 actors are very good and it is very believable. The music is epic too! (I love all Trance/House/Techno music so I was completely hooked). This Movie has left me in a positive mood and made me want to Rave all night too.
The relationships with their families were a bit unbelievable and felt unrealistic compared to the other parts.
I think the film sends a crucial message too because it doesn't comment on the morals of the Rave scene, it simply shows us what the 90's Rave scene was about. It shows that the Rave culture and that particular drug culture is here to stay, whatever the British Government think.… Expand

Could everyone stop talking about trainspotting! I think such a ploy detracts from criticizing what is essentially a bad bad movie, one with its head firmly up its own arse.

It all feels like slimy propaganda, an attempt to justify the nightmarish existence of working a soul sucking 9-5 job by escaping into drug induced euphoria at the weekend. THEY think they have found that excuse in a film that, to be fair, does manufacture a fair bit of vibrancy in its production values, its writing and its acting (John Simms, you rock!). THEY secretly close their eyes and hope they have found the holy grail of excuses in this film. Unfortunately, they haven't. Its all quite shallow and empty actually, just like the lifestyle is espouses. Yes. quite controversial.… Expand

This must be one of the most underrated films I've seen on Metacritic. The reviewers must have been judging it against Trainspotting alone. Firstly, Trainspotting is about junkies and the mess that H and drugs will get you in, whereas This must be one of the most underrated films I've seen on Metacritic. The reviewers must have been judging it against Trainspotting alone. Firstly, Trainspotting is about junkies and the mess that H and drugs will get you in, whereas Human Traffic is about the average weekend of a British pill popping punter. Secondly, Trainspotting is depressing where Human Traffic is uplifting (one of the best films to watch on a comedown). So check it out and forget the preconceptions!… Expand

Is there some way to measure the voices of the critic against sales over time to see whether they got it right or not? To say that human traffic dialogue is not memorable for isntance when it is quoted in every nightclub every night all Is there some way to measure the voices of the critic against sales over time to see whether they got it right or not? To say that human traffic dialogue is not memorable for isntance when it is quoted in every nightclub every night all around the world X number of years after release surely indicates critic error?… Expand
