You have very high expectations for your 3 dollars. I mean, it's only 3 bucks!The movie was nominated for best pic because of it's political content, not because it was a great film. Hollywood loves the idea of legalizing drugs and ending the drug war because it's unwinable as the system works now (as do I). Any excuse to bring attention to their pet causes.
Del Toro was good, but I woulda picked someone else for the Oscar (Dafoe comes to mind) and Sodderburgh's directing Oscar was given to him because he shot most of the movie himself with hand held cameras. Hollywood loves to reward stuff like that too.
I liked the movie. Great film? No, but I enjoyed it's flow. Don Cheedle and his partner's banter made the movie much more enjoyable for me. As movies about drug dealing and that whole culture goes, I admired "Traffic" because it had something different to say and a different way of saying it unlike movies like "Blow".
