Critics Consensus

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

Haley M

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!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Austin Chronicle

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.

Rated: 1.5/5

Hollywood Reporter

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...

Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

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.

Matt Cipolla

Film Monthly

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.

Rated: 1.5/5

Mark H. Harris

Black Horror Movies

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.

Rated: 2.3/5
