Movie studios, by and large, avoid controversial subjects like race the way you might avoid a hive of angry bees. So it's remarkable that Crash even got made; that it's a rich, intelligent, and moving exploration of the interlocking lives of a dozen Los Angeles residents--black, white, latino, Asian, and Persian--is downright amazing. A politically nervous district attorney (Brendan Fraser) and his high-strung wife (Sandra Bullock, biting into a welcome change of pace from Miss Congeniality) get car-jacked by an oddly sociological pair of young black men (Larenz Tate and Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges); a rich black T.V. director (Terrence Howard) and his wife (Thandie Newton) get pulled over by a white racist cop (Matt Dillon) and his reluctant partner (Ryan Phillipe); a detective (Don Cheadle) and his Latina partner and lover (Jennifer Esposito) investigate a white cop who shot a black cop--these are only three of the interlocking stories that reach up and down class lines. Writer/director Paul Haggis (who wrote the screenplay for Million Dollar Baby) spins every character in unpredictable directions, refusing to let anyone sink into a stereotype. The cast--ranging from the famous names above to lesser-known but just as capable actors like Michael Pena (Buffalo Soldiers) and Loretta Devine (Woman Thou Art Loosed)--meets the strong script head-on, delivering galvanizing performances in short vignettes, brief glimpses that build with gut-wrenching force. This sort of multi-character mosaic is hard to pull off; Crash rivals such classics as Nashville and Short Cuts. A knockout. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - great movie
i've had this movie several times and everytime i lend it never get it back so i had to have it again.great movie
Rating:  - Treats The Audience As If They Were Stupid
I know this is an Oscar winner and that it's got tons of fans but I felt like this movie was being force fed to me. I get it: Racism is bad and coupled with coincidence, its worse.
To it's credit, there are some touching scenes between the Michael Pena character and his daughter but it wasn't enough to save the film.
I'm not sure how other people don't see it-this movie feels so much more contrived than it should. Paul Haggis' other script, 'Million Dollar Baby', is equally ... Read More
Rating:  - I was skeptical, but...
Wow, where to begin? The opening scenes of Crash made me roll my eyes and hate it. Back in the day I had a neighbor (a white female) who believed that there was no such thing as a non-racist white person, and that we should all pay some sort of tax to the black people for our continuing racism towards them. Well, the beginning of Crash seemed like it was filmed by that exact kind of illogical, paranoid, guilt-tripped person. To add to that, I live in New York City, considered by many to be the most obnoxious ... Read More
Rating:  - Don't buy the hype, and don't buy this film!
By almost every metric Crash defies classification as a bad film. The acting is excellent all around, the production is clearly big-budget, and the theme, racism, is anything but trivial. The fact that it IS a terrible movie despite all it seems to have going for it makes the disappointment that much more acute.
Watching Crash is like getting smashed on the head repeatedly with a mallet while someone shouts "RACISM IS BAD! EVERYONE IS A RACIST! YOU ARE SOMEONE SO YOU MUST BE A RACIST! YOU ARE BAD!". ... Read More
Rating: - Great film, will challenge your views on a variety of hot topics!
Now, this is one helluva movie! I watched 'Crash' again this weekend and I was as compelled now as when I first saw it. This film challenges you, especially if you grew up in the U.S. You know the movies that have you guessing until the end? Think you got it all figured out, only to find out you were way off base? This is 'Crash'! But even moreso, what are your views regarding prejudice, racism, stereotyping, sexism? I am sure you will be tested and forced to rethink your stance once you see this. There's ...
