This well intentioned story of intertwining lives in the cultural melting pot that is Los Angeles is an ambitious attempt to explore the grey area outside of political correctness. Nearly all of the characters display racism to various extents but it's done so in a way as to crea... read more

Other than the Sandra Bullock/Brendan Fraser storyline (which didn't really go anywhere), this is basically a perfect movie. Most impressive to me were Don Cheadle, Thandie Newton and Michael Peņa, though this film features a great ensemble performance. Some scenes will bring you... read more

The deserving winner of the Oscar for Best Picture in 2006 is a poignant morality study on racism, intolerance and xenophobia, so intense and powerful that it hits the most loathsome sores of society in a really unsettling way - and it can certainly make you cry and feel deeply u... read more

This ensemble drama is set in a snake pit universe, where each and everyone is a racist puppet. And destiny has it that these sugarcoated-for-award-committee-characters collide with each other in multiple, crisscrossing events.
More and more implausible coincidences pile up and ... read more -

A great film. The storyline grips you and you don't know what's going to come next. Love how it all connected in the end! A must see!

It's a good concept, but not a great movie. It's really overrated, and I really didn't get much out of it that was new or overly insightful. Yes, the film was well acted, but the story really didn't work too much for me. Some of the ideas presented are nice, but they aren't exec... read more
Critic Reviews
Enjoy the wonderful performances by a cast very committed to the cause.
[Has a] spirited and talented ensemble cast, which Haggis directs with sensitivity. Full Review
Haggis's drama is about much more than interlocking front-end collisions. It's about the way we learn, often badly, about one another and how it may take a bad confrontation to peel away the mispercep... Full Review
This is the rare American film really about something, and almost all the performances are riveting. It asks tough questions, and lets its audience struggle with the answers. Full Review
The best parts of Crash are as good as they are because they confront us with behaviour we might be capable of under the same circumstances. And we're not bad people. Are we? Full Review
And so Crash raises the question: If racism is so pervasive in our society, why do we need such an elaborately contrived plot to drive home the message? In other words: How many racists does it take t... Full Review
Its emotional lows and wicked below-the-belt punches make it a soul-searching film, a manipulative movie with a lot of stars and a writer-director staying on message throughout: We need to know each o... Full Review
Crash isn't set half-a-century ago, in some place of dusty roads and Skoal-spitting sheriffs. It takes place now, in Los Angeles, that most modern of American cities. Full Review
