a early look at alchaolism from the 40s, and interesting to watch, maybe how tame things are, but a good watch

Human Traffic
story set over 24 hours, in cardiff wales, about a bunch of young clubbers, who work during the week, and live for the weekend when they go pill popping and other use of drugs, and out on the town and club the night away, in nightclub, and house partys, the story follows jip(john simm) moff(danny dyer) koop(shaun parkes) and a few others, as relationships are cemented and posible love interests arise, a great look aT the rave culture in south wales, and drug culture that exists, great look at frienship, and although the dance scene isnt my scene, i certainly dident turn my nose up at what was happening, great performances from simms and especially danny dyer, a geezer was discovered with this film, aparently a great sundtrack to, check it out.
