The 1999 film Human Traffic, featuring John Simm and Danny Dyer’s first film role, is now available to stream in the UK. You can watch it with a Prime Video subscription, which costs £5.99 a month for video access only, or £8.99 a month for a full Prime membership with added benefits like delivery.
The story centers around a group of friends escaping their everyday troubles with a weekend getaway in Cardiff, but their use of drugs ends up amplifying their worries instead of relieving them.
When it came out, Human Traffic was very popular, benefiting from the excitement around the UK rave scene and often being compared to the film Trainspotting.

While critics weren’t initially impressed (it currently has a 59% rating on Rotten Tomatoes), the film has become a beloved favorite among fans, who give it an 89% approval rating based on over 25,000 reviews on the same site.
One IMDb user praised the work as “pure genius,” noting its skillful writing and authentic depiction of life in the late 1990s.
One viewer called it a fantastic look back at the era. Another commented that while the film clearly drew inspiration from Trainspotting – which they considered superior – it was original enough to be enjoyable in its own right.
One reviewer praised Simm as captivating, and highlighted Dyer’s performance as the strongest they’ve ever witnessed from him.
More recently, some critics have given the film positive reviews, like the one published by The Guardian when it was re-released on DVD and Blu-ray last year.
The review describes this film as a lighthearted and enjoyable story focused on love and pleasure, with no political message. It also praises Danny Dyer’s surprisingly comedic first film role.
Human Traffic is available to stream with a Prime Video subscription.
