I think if this had been made for television like the original Traffic it would have been a lot stronger. We are a lot more forgiving of character development in television. Of course, it would never have been commissioned in the US (at least by a broadcaster that could afford to make it -- the original Traffik was made in 1989 for UK broadcaster Channel 4).
The story and characters might have been better served that they were in a two hour and eight minute film.
