What to Know

Critics Consensus

Traffik highlights Paula Patton's impressive dramatic chops -- and smothers them in a thoroughly underwhelming exploitation thriller.

Steve Davis Austin Chronicle Apr 26, 2018
1.5/5
If this movie demonstrates anything, it's that this capable actress [Paula Patton] deserves better than just being known as the ex-Mrs. Robin Thicke. Go to Full Review
Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter Apr 20, 2018
While Patton almost single-handedly makes you want to take the film a little more seriously than is in any way warranted, it's impossible to do so on any level... Go to Full Review
Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Apr 20, 2018
An 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. Go to Full Review
Matt Cipolla Film Monthly Jul 24, 2020
1.5/5
It exploits for entertainment the trauma it claims to shed a light on -- and it isn't even entertaining on its own terms, much less well made. Go to Full Review
Mark H. Harris Black Horror Movies Jan 7, 2020
2.3/5
For a film with such a sense of social consciousness, Traffik comes off as a by-the-numbers action thriller that throws in a misguided "the more you know" message after the fact. Go to Full Review

Luke G Mar 11, 2019 Wow. How horrible this movie is is outstanding. Spoiler alert!! From the moment she runs out after the girl who she wouldnâ(TM)t give the phone back to and obviously didnâ(TM)t want her help is when I checked out and decided, this movies plot is so terribly written that I have to warn others. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!! I feel like this movie was written and director by film school students. I can not believe this is whatâ(TM)s making it to the screen these days. See more
Feb 26, 2019 Well, I gave this film a shot and let myself down and since I believe in actually reviewing something instead of complaining, I'll try to walk that line carefully and honestly. Human trafficking here in California is a real issue and I tip my hat to the producers for attempting to bring this problem to light, but I cannot ignore the fact it was a bad film. The dialogue was clumsy (and boring), the lighting was terrible, and I have a feeling the editing, cinematography, and directing had something to do with the poor flow of the movie as well. Although it is based on true events, writers need to take some creative liberties to make the onscreen story interesting, but this one fell way short. I understand the challenges of shooting at night (considering I just spent five thirteen hour nights on a shoot), but these scenes looked like someone was trying to light them just to get the shot instead of giving the illusion of ambient lighting. Considering the names in the cast, I would expect better acting, but again, the script had its challenges as well and a script doctor should be on the list of hires for this production team's next project. I have a feeling spending less on the cast and putting more into production value could help next time around because the established names tell me garnering a budget isn't an issue for this team. Hidden Empire has another thriller in the works which includes Oscar winner, Hillary Swank; let's hope this isn't a waste of her talent, budget, and viewer's time like Traffik (in my opinion) was.

Feb 18, 2019 Very disturbing film but good acting and story line. Creepy that this stuff goes on. Deffo worth a watch
Finn W Jan 27, 2019 Terrible! Everyone knows the cops are crooked in are helping these young girls getting trafficked. There is no way in hell so many would go missing if the cops would actually serve instead of prey. See more
George W Jan 18, 2019 Really touching story that has emotion, meaning and is eye opening. Good acting and cool twist.Well placed music and sound that adds so much to the movie. Well done. I really don't understand where all the hate is coming from from people towards this AWESOME story! Its odd to see Scott Anthony Lee (Known from "The Hangover" movies and other comedies) as a nasty sex trafficking biker. He NAILED IT! This story is as realistic as it gets. I recommend if you like tragedy , emotion and a great positive ending . WATCH THIS MOVIE See more
Harry S Jan 15, 2019 Horrible film, poor acting for cliche roles and stale plot. You've seen most of the plot a hundred times before and frankly, with better actors. Don't waste your time. See more
