SECOND ACT CRISES

I watched the 3d and 4th chapters of

Traffik (1989)

today and it is quite a ride. All hell break loose today.

While the Soderberg film, made from this series, was pretty good it had none of the gut-punch excitement or emotional depth of this original work.

Of course they cut it in half to bring it to the Hollywood screen. It is clear that they also brought some Hollywood clichés along with them.

I am liking this original a lot. Or not liking what goes on a lot in a good way. It is tough to watch.

Completion tomorrow.
