Review

Despite the poor spelling, yes, Traffik is the basis for the correctly titled movie of the (sort of) same name. But turn of phrase aside, it’s better to spend your precious viewing time with this British mini-series than the watered-down American version. The epic deals with the drug trade in Pakistan and how everyone from gangsters and cops to philanthropic millionaires and their trophy wives are affected by the evil poppy plant. But while both versions are gritty in their realism, only the TV one actually has the guts to show a full-frontal, full-cavity search that exposes the intoxicating body of Lindsay Duncan. There are other bare bits displayed too, which is sure to make audiences high. Say no to drugs but yes to skin!
