Leave your thoughts about Traffik.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfTaylor mostly just invents ways for Patton to parade around in skimpy clothes, confusing the tone of the movie, which uses exploitation to eventually condemn exploitation. |
| TheFrightFile.comDustin PutmanEven if, in form, "Traffik" is little more than a crowd-pleasing B-movie with ultra-slick production values, it is an undeniably arresting one with a deeper purpose beyond its polished surface. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerTrying to figure it out makes Traffik weirdly compelling, but nowhere near good. |
| The Hollywood OutsiderAaron PetersonTraffik entertains while enlightening, propelled forward by Paula Patton's performance |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAn effective weekend-from-hell thriller with a vital message, a terrific lead performance by Paula Patton and some unexpectedly dimensional storytelling from writer-director Deon Taylor ("Meet the Blacks"). |
| The Young FolksKristen LopezTraffik is a feature that will probably gets its widest audience on VOD but would be fun to see in a theater. You can just imagine the people screaming "Kill them!" en masse. |
| StarburstAndrew PollardGrabs you and refuses to let you go through this intense, gruelling, and powerful tale... Paula Patton is absolutely phenomenal. |
| Columbus UndergroundHope MaddenTake Paula Patton (and Taylor's leering filming of her) out of the movie and it's not a bad little piece of throwback exploitation. |
| Jamaica GleanerDamian LevyTraffik is as entertaining as sitting in literal traffic-waiting for something to happen, only to be disappointed by the result. |
| VarietyAndrew BarkerNoble intentions are derailed by deeply confused execution in writer-director Deon Taylor’s Traffik, which attempts to marry cheap genre thrills with an unflinching depiction of the horrors of international sex trafficking, only to cheapen the latter and cast a grimy pall over the former. |
