Are There Any Criticisms of the Movie “Traffic”?

Question by JDH.: Are there any criticisms of the movie “Traffic”?
I don’t know how accurate or inaccurate the 2000 movie “Traffic” is. Does anyone personally have any criticism of the movie? Anything you thought misrepresented the truth? Anything that you know to be factually inaccurate? Anything you feel would be misleading to someone who didn’t know any better?
