For Jip, Lulu, Koop, Nina and Moff, the dead-end jobs they endure during the week just kill the time until Friday night. That's when they cut very loose and get on the crazy roller coaster ride that takes them right through to Monday morning. An adrenaline-pumped comedy, "Human Traffic" chronicles the ups and downs -- both chemical and emotional -- of five friends whose weekends are filled with endless clubbing, pubbing and partying where there are no rules, no limits and no saying "no."

Watching this movie is sort of like taking drugs: Human Traffic is great fun for the 84 minutes you're there, but it's hard to remember what exactly happened and ultimately feels pointless (at least in retrospect).

The film's high spirits are contagious and wholly impossible to resist.

It comes alive and resonates, even for folks other than its intended audience.

Human traffic focuses on these young adults who are stuck in their 9-5 jobs and only live for the weekend. It is a story a lot of audiences can relate to. About people wanting more out of life instead of just merely existing. Knowing they want more but not exactly sure what. It definitely does have an interesting tone and unique style. However it does start to get jarring after a while. And there isn't really much character development going on. There are no big revelations and changes on there out look that could effect their lives. The film does have an interesting concept it just doesn't feel like it's told in the right way. What was entertaining at first got old pretty quickly. As a whole Human Traffic is pretty forgettable and when it could of been a lot more.

This movie literally describes my 90's and 00's to a tee, none of this cheese on toast woke youth of today. We had a blast and loved it

dated. unfunny. zero story. cringeworthy. Danny Dyer stands out amongst the actors, but this really is a terrible film to watch.

One of those films that can really only be appreciated by the drug-induced sector of society; it may fall on deaf ears for those who have no experience here.

Satirical, and at times philosophical exploration of the UK club and party scene of the nineties. The film follows a group of twenty something friends stuck in dead-end jobs in Cardiff on a drug fuelled weekend in the city. Commentary is provided throughout via various cutaways and fantasy sequences, sometimes blurring the line between fiction and reality. Some creative editing in this one really helps accentuate the hallucinogenic feeling of the film. This is also the first film appearance from a very fresh-faced Danny Dyer and there's an early cameo appearance from future The Walking Dead star Andrew Lincoln.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This is one of my top 3 favourite movies of all time. If you don't love this movie and watch it at least once a year or so it's because you're boring af and have no idea what it means to have a good time dancing until long past sun up.
