Traffik

You don't need another "must-watch drama" list — Traffik in Australia on Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and YouTube TV earns the spot regardless.

Paula Patton leads a cast that never overplays its hand. Available now on Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Traffik is worth clearing space for. The writing in Traffik treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. A couple off for a romantic weekend in the mountains are accosted by a biker gang. Alone in the mountains, Brea and John must defend themselves against the gang, who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets. Paula Patton and Omar Epps lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It hit screens in 2018. What elevates Traffik is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For anyone looking for storytelling that takes its characters seriously, Traffik delivers. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Paula Patton's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.

Traffik was released in 2018, directed by Deon Taylor. The full 96-minute film is available to watch now.
