Funny and masterfully inventive.

This British film also mocks the rave culture it celebrates, and it's charming in a way that is hip but surprisingly down to earth.

Well cast, engagingly played and directed with a stylistic pedal to the metal, Human Traffic is a lot of energy adding up to very little.

They are, in fact, likable. That's why their comedy is so sad.

'Trainspotting'' Lite.

Turns into a driving soundtrack accompanied by a film.

I'd rather sit in bumper-to-bumper hell on I-495 for two hours than get caught in Traffic again.

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 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.
