Human Traffic

[Durlston]

The best film ever made is on tonight, BBC2 1.20am.

Pity it's on so late but worth recording if you've never seen it before. Starring John Simm and Danny Dyer it's about a group of mates that have an amazing weekend, clubbing and partying with some brilliant humour thrown in and wicked choons in Cardiff.

"Cushty! I knew you wouldn't let me down, i knew it!"

You're not seriously suggesting it's the best film ever made surely?

That'll be the cheapo Welsh cash-in on the shirt tails of Trainspotting then. Cardiff FFS

Even as a retired clubber I have to say most of it made me cringe.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Awful, awful film and the main actor is dreadful. I do love a good Brit flick but (imho) Human Traffic is a diabolical piece of work.

i watched it the for the 1st time the otherday.. it's rubbish? the only highlight being Danny Dyer on the toilet on the phone to the other lad. (only funny part in the whole boring film)

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

And I was a Cardiff Uni student during the time depicted in that film and it doesn't remind me of any of my clubbing experiences in the Principality I have to say.... not that I can remember too many of them.

No way, John Simm is the man!

I'm with you Durlo, HT is a great film.

 

[Public Pervert]

I'd rather watch Mama Mia again than that pile of horseshit.

 

[dolphin123]

Top film. Nice one bruva.

He's wank Danny. Not only is he the worst thing in HT but he also manages to be the only bad thing in that great American film from about ten years ago about Las Vegas/clubbing/drugs - one word title that escapes me. (This memory isnae what it was - clubbing kids, don't do it)

Don't know that one but he was supoib in Life on Mars and made a good Dr Who baddie.

 

[Goodfella]

Go. Good movie.

 

[Colossal Squid]

In my youth I loved this film because of some of the similarities with going clubbing and ending up at house parties, doing drugs etc. HOWEVER it's a very flimsy pretence when you look at it. A bunch of mates go clubbing, two of them fall in love and it all ends sickeningly cutesy. Nothing really happens otherwise.

Little bits of the dialogue are fun and I think Dyer's character (Moff?) is amusing but essentially this film just cashed in on thousands of drug addled clubbers who "identified" with it, simply because the taboo subject of getting pilled up at nightclubs didn't get as much attention then as it does these days.

I know because I was one.

I owned it on VHS back in the day but have never bothered to get a DVD copy as I've kind of outgrown it really

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

I may have to watch this tonight just for the bit where Dyer has a tommy tank

 

[jordanseagull]

I think it's on when no one is watching for a reason

 

[Colossal Squid]

Go. Good movie.

John Simm isn't in Go.

And that's another film that doesn't actually have as much going on in it when you watch it now than it seemed to the first time of viewing. At the end of it everyone acts as if that really was some way out weekend they've just experienced when in fact all that's happened is some mates tried to sell some drugs, went clubbing and pissed off a dealer. I think when I was a kid it seemed great but having gotten a bit older it all seems rather tame compared to reality
