Very slow. Very complex. Very interesting. Very good.

i hope they did a better job with this than they did with Traffic...that movie was awful.

Your right. Its one of those great thinking movies IMO.

Been thinking of checking it out, will have to give it a look. I thought Traffic was okay. Great style to it, great subject matter, completely killed by the idea of a Drug Czar's daughter turning into a crack whore. I mean come on...

Agreed, while drug addiction happens among all groups in society, I think she ended up prostituting herself for drugs. Not likely coming from a wealthy community. Addiction occurs, but it manifests differently. I see the point they were trying to make--that it could happen to anyone--but come on. At least have it be his stepsister's stepdaughter or something a bit more removed.

Will have to check it out.


Yeah, there was a lot in Traffik that left a lot to be desired. It was kind of a mish mash of stereotypes all having dialogue. Douglas' character was good, but yeah, a crackwhore for a daughter pffft.

I loved traffic

I hated Syriana so much. It has to be my biggest movie letdown ever. I mean it wasn't terrible, but I had such high hopes.
