 Human Traffic 1999  R, 87 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Justin Kerrigan
Cast: John Simm, Lorraine Pilkington, Shaun Parkes, Danny Dyer, Nicola Reynolds, Dean Davies, Andrew Lincoln, Carl Cox, Jan Anderson, Peter Bramhill
Five friends–Jip (John Simm), Lulu (Lorraine Pilkington), Koop (Shaun Parkes), Moff (Danny Dyer), and Nina (Nicola Reynolds)–represent the 1990s Youth Culture as they live their lives of "clubs, drugs, pubs, and parties" in Cardiff, Wales. It might have helped if there had been a moral to this story, but, instead, the director, Justin Kerrigan, seems intent on condoning the drug world and ignoring its inherent dangers.
