Reception
Entertainment Weekly rated it C+ and said, "An uninspiring script and so-so acting make Flash Traffic play like a direct-to-video cheapie with a multiple-personality disorder."[4] Stephen Manes of The New York Times called it "stronger on acting and dialogue than on plot". Manes said some choices do not seem to affect the plot, making it unsatisfying.[2]
