No compromises here. Traffic takes a long, hard look at the narcotics industry in North America and manages to entertain at the same time. The triple plot allows you to see the whole industry with multiple perspectives. The movie is visually stunning, loved the different filters for the three locations.
That the war on drugs cannot be won, and is hypocritical to boot, is a message that needs as much air-time as it can get.
