Traveller is a by the numbers "Gypsy thriller" with little to recommend it. Its incredibly clichéd,resorting to gangster movie clichés and poorly staged fistfights for punctuation.
The script is awful ( i haven't read the book upon which it is based but as the same writer wrote both I would not be optimistic).
performances vary massively but no-one is impressive. This may be because of benjamin F John's lacklustre direction. This is John's only directing credit, and it feels like a contractual obligation.
perhaps it is a generational thing but I can't see the appeal of David essex. I realise that he was successful in the 1970's but he has no appeal to my age group.
I was bored by this and wished I hadn't bothered. Avoid.

Rubbish, especially David Essex whose acting is as bad as ever. This film is so pedestrian it virtually limps, pleading to be put down. I can't watch anymore!

Traveller. Was like a poor parody of life in the Irish traveller community. Offensive sterotypes, a poor storyline. The use of the term "halfblood" I have only heard used for those of MIXED race by older people in the community. Its very biased film against Irish travellers in general and a poor film in general also. Tries hard to project an image of travellers as anti-social. Irish travellers are portrayed as "Undesirable" a lable the Irish traveller community doesnt need promoted, as its comman enough already.

Dreadful movie from an obviously incompetent and talentless director. Never seen so much dross in my whole life. It's like watching a school child's Year 8 drama class.
