Good movie but grossly overrated

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I was there and this is not what it was like at all, this movie fails to capture the rush of it.Poor acting, bad plot & poor choice of music. The reviewer who said it will become a cult classic is having a laugh, maybe he wrote this rubbish.Not very original and poorly executed. Not worth wasting your time, just watch Human Traffic. I struggled to stay with it until the end.Character relationships and development were not believable, a sorry effort all round. I went in with high hopes but it was very disappointing.

I've just finished watching this film, and it greatly surpassed my expectations that previous reviews/ratings had given. The film is essentially about a group of mates who decide to host a warehouse rave in the early 90's, realise that they made easy money from partying so continue with it. For a while all goes well until eventually it all gets a bit much for them as fights over drug dealing begin to escalate, with the stress of the situation eventually tearing the characters apart.All in all this film is entertaining to watch, and if you have knowledge of the scene you'll easily be reminded of some of the best times of your life. As well as entertaining some of the characters were fantastic, I won't go into detail, but you really can't help but hate the antagonist, especially as we've all had experiences with people like that, thinking they're better than other people and forgetting what made the party great in the first place. This film isn't perfect, but definitely worth watching if you enjoyed Human Traffic, although it is noticeably darker

I don't think they nailed the drug scene accurately, but its a cool film none the less.I liked the music and sound track. I liked the venues and different locations. The plot was easy to follow and I didn't get bored at all. Difficult to compete with the original Human Traffic movie but I collect clubbing movies so I can happily add this one to my movies shelf ;-)I don't really have much more to say about it. i have no idea why I must write 10 lines of review.

This film is far better than I expected it to be. I thought it would be OK having read some of the press reviews, but the storyline was far better, the characters interesting, intriguing and you definitely cared what happened to them as it got darker. OK I've never been to a rave or taken the drugs, but am of that generation - but have been to plenty of clubs, all night parties etc so think they recreated 'the scene' OK. It was very well shot & edited, and some really cool little bits of camera action that take things a bit further on than Guy Ritchie might do to tie trips abroad etc nicely into the rest of the film. Saw it on DVD - reckon they'd be wicked on Bluray! Anyway well worth buying - I shall be recommending it highly to friends... Great soundtrack too!
