Traffik

I was so excited to see this movie but was let down by the horrible acting of the lead actress and the sub par plot. It really could have been a hit but it just didn't hit the mark!!

When I left the theater I tried to think of something positive to say about "Traffik", a banal 'slasher' flick now in theaters. But I couldn't. The screenplay is hackneyed, the script is awful and the acting ranges from average (Omar Epps) to below (Paula Patton). "Traffik" just doesn't have much going for it, but I went to the first matinee which is low-priced where I go.

John and Brea are in love. He rents a mountain retreat hoping for a romantic getaway for the two, but, wouldn't you know it, a biker gang shows up to cause trouble (don't you hate it when that happens?). The story plods along without benefit of tension or suspense and the bikers are involved in an uninteresting sex trafficking ring - international, no less. But I had long since lost interest. If you go, see the early show - it's cheaper.

This is at best a b-movie and there is no way that it would receive the user rating is has. If you watch the movie it will be obvious the rating has been manipulated. At best its 4 / 10.

This movie is based on a real case happened in North Cal, which is where I'm currently living. I used to think this kind of criminal - human traffic - would only take place in the area where it's far and less developed. However, this movie made me realize the hidden danger. I became more cautious like double check the front and back door lock every night before going to bed. I also began to avoid going to places in the middle of no where by myself (which I did a lot before).

I think all girls should have this sense in their mind, that the world is not as safe as we though. It's really important to learn to protect ourselves.

Therefore, regardless how good/bad the movie is ( i think it's pretty good), I give it a 10/10 star and recommend every girl to watch it for the lesson it taught us and the public awareness it raises.

I would like to think I don't scare easily. This movie had unexpected twists & I loved it. I hated Paula's make-up & dingy ways in the beginning but I got over it. Really enjoyed the characters & story line.
