It's a trip into the nineties, with fun performances which includes a great turn for John Simm. As for the narrative its pretty basic, a bunch of people who get tired of their mundane jobs/life and then go to escape on the weekend. Be aware it might have you bobbing along to the beat of the arm flailing soundtrack.

The film itself is a drug trip, literally. It isn't groundbreaking but it is a fun experience which certainly induces some amusing moments.

After finally killing The Doctor, The Master has no meaning in life. So he comes to Earth, wipes his own memory and changes his name to Jip. He then befriends Danny Dyer. Jip then realizes he has no meaning in his life so he runs for Prime Minister and wins under his real name, Harold Saxon. When The Doctor returns to Earth with Captain Jack Harkness and Martha Jones, Saxon remembers exactly who he really is and history repeats itself.

Dire.

A catalogue of Friday night's pills and powder intake does not a movie make. Nor do five endlessly self-justifying bores constantly winking and nudging and screaming and sledgehammering the viewer with "THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOU'RE ON DRUGS! THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOU ARE ON DRUGS! AM I RIGHT? AM I RIGHT?"

That it has the gall to reference TRAINSPOTTING, an immensely superior film which throws its own failings into almost comic relief, is just one of the many artistic decisions on director Justin Kerrigan's part which completely baffle me. Nothing quite so baffling though as the generally held view that it is something of a "British Cult Classic". A turgid mixture of nostalgia (the turn of the millenium setting always feels a bit anachronistic for a film centred on rave culture) and borderline propaganda. I've had comedowns that were more pleasant.

"Now kiss me."
"Darling, I am going to fuck your brains out."

Nice one bruva.

Scavenger Hunt #12
Film #19
Task #11: A film starring Danny Dyer

"I'm supposed to see my mum tomorrow, but I'm doing ecstasy tonight so there's no way I can deal with her on a come down."
-Jip

I had no idea who Danny Dyer was, so I went with his only movie that was on Netflix. As a bonus it starred John Simm, the Master of all.

This movie is manic as fuck. Human Traffic follows a group of friends on a weekend off of work as they tour the clubs and get high. The characters break the fourth wall, travel into each others' flashbacks, and go on some crazy trips. This was a lot of fun for me but I can see how it could be off-putting.

Looking to escape their difficult lives, a group of friends head out to a club to party.

wtf this movie is amazing!!! uk rave scene is certainly not my area of expertise and this movie when full dive in to the zone. dope soundtrack and cinematography

Remember seeing this once it came out - was in university and our life was quite similar (just without the drugs). And i watched this again - some 17 years later - still great.

Cardiff how it was. Pure nostalgia trip. Filmed in my college whilst I was there (might have been in bed actually). This was me, but as Koop said “when a come-down outweighs the good times, you know the party’s over.” Been there, done that.
