Critics Consensus

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

Steve Davis Austin Chronicle 04/26/2018
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 04/20/2018
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 04/20/2018
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 07/24/2020
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 01/07/2020
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 Linda and Al Lerner Movies and Shakers 08/08/2019
We give credit for Taylor creating a film dealing with this important issue. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alan W @Al712 Dec 27 Dull, formulaic, don’t waste your time. See more Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life 02/09/2025 A well made movie based on true events. The performance of Paula Patton was great. Tim Treakle See more Haley M @RT73120402 12/29/2023 Paula Patton is so powerful and stunning in every dramatic role she takes on. The film itself could be better written / directed, but Paula is a delight to watch nonetheless. Also fun to see her kick butt in action sequences! See more Mark K @RT17710322 12/18/2023 This movie captivated me with its engaging plot, solid performances from familiar actors, and skillful storytelling by the director. I wholeheartedly recommend it! See more Mikael P @RT95474512 01/06/2023 Well... this movie was just plain dumb. Was mostly listening to my girlfriend saying "My god you guys are stupid!" to the actors. See more 04/22/2022 Holds A Valuable Message To Put Out There. The Beginning Is A Tad Directionless, But Then It Gets Going With The Rest Being All Very Interesting & Well-defined. See more Read all reviews
