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

- What We Perceive
It's a real case of beginner's luck for first-time director Paul Haggis. Having already scored an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay (Million Dollar Baby), Haggis takes the director's chair for this project and scores a big hit, one which won him Best Picture of 2005. With an all-star cast, a haunting score by Mark Isham and a thought-provoking screenplay, "Crash" is a bold tapestry of humankind at their best and worst and the circumstances that eventually connect them all are a wonder to behold. ...

- So real to life...
This is one of the most realistic movies I have seen in a long time. The whole storyline of the characters all collide over twenty-four hours because of racism & stereotypes.

I had to watch this movie for a final in one of my college classes. I don't consider myself a racist person at all, but after watching this movie I think it is hard to believe you have never had thoughts like some of the characters in the movie.

If you haven't seen this movie, see it!!! It will def. ... Read More

- Minus ten stars for the blatant stereotypes.
Brokeback got robbed and everyone knows it.
SHAME ON HOLLYWEIRD!!!
All the white people are evil racists and all the black people are homicidal. Yeah, ok.
Barely any Asian presence in the film. UUGH!!!
Racism is a problem that affects every race, gender, etc...
It's not just a "white" problem.
Homicidal car jacking criminals aren't just a "black" problem.
Funny thing is, I'm white, most of my neighbors are black.
And NONE of us act like this.
NONE of ... Read More

- Deals skilfully with very uncomfortable issues.
Powerful drama telling the interlocking stories of several characters in Los Angeles, highlighting issues of prejudice, racism and racial tension. Very well put together with stand-out performances from many actors and actresses including Thandie Newton, Sandra Bullock, Ryan Phillipe, Matt Dillon and the rapper Ludacris. Equally shocking and thought provoking, this was a film I couldn't really fault, which dealt skilfully with very uncomfortable issues. Recommended.

Rating:

- A very moving film
First I'd like to quote another reviewer who said, "...there are so many coincidences of characters running into each other at key moments in the story is just wasn't believable." I'm not sure how it is not believable that the characters in a movie crossed paths. It's not coincidence... it is a story which focuses on a number of characters who cross paths... that's kind of the point. I'm not sure why so many people rated the film so low; even if you don't completely love it, it in no way deserves a 1-star ... Read More
