I've decided that I think Traffic sucked.
why sucked??
I agree, it sucked, but the marketing (through the praise of esteemed critics?) of it was every bit as good as Blair Witch. I did think Benito Del Toro exuded himself pretty well. And the ending, although hokey, was good because 1. It eventually came, and 2. I think if you could look at that whole movie as an overly realistic reality play (in that it was boring, dull, and sometimes reprehensible), but that in the end with all the various power brokers essentially self-consumed and ineffectual, some kids got a ball park--that's as good an expression of hope as any I've seen.
