Human Traffic is purely a `been there, done that' experience only this time it's quite limp.<br /><br />Major themes explored are paranoia, male impotence and jealousy but only mildly and poorly.<br /><br />A lot of the movie seems to want to imitate Trainspotting (drug / `clubbing' culture) but it fails to include the low times / come-downs that Trainspotting deals with (eg: issues with death / dependence, etc). It even tries to come up with a similar monologue to Ewan McGreggor's classic `Choose Life' speech but `The Milky Bars are on me! Yeah!' what the fudge is that all about?!<br /><br />The characters try to analyse their lifestyle but when their lifestyle is so shallow their analysis becomes boring and repetitious.<br /><br />The soundtrack (for a movie that is trying to be cool) is pathetic. It includes the likes of Fat Boy Slim and CJ Bolland come on people good dance music IS be better than this!<br /><br />The characters become grating and annoying (especially half way through the movie) and the lack of care-for-the-characters soon dawns.<br /><br />There are a couple of funny scenes but they are few and far between. The mother catching the son in the bedroom was quite amusing.<br /><br />But PLEASE I'm sick to death of the Star Wars analogy scenes. I thought it was much more sharper in a couple of Kevin Smith's movies (ie: Clerks and Chasing Amy). According to the characters Yoda is a drug fiend hence that's why he is short and bald huh?!<br /><br />My score 4 out of 10 do yourself a favour and see Trainspotting or Go instead! |
