such a waste

Rating: 4/10 (23 June 2006)

It could have been a recipe for success but it wasn't. Even though instructions were followed, something still went wrong and resulted in disaster.
Lots of people loved this movie. I didn't. I thought it was too simplistic, too caught up in its own scandal and just too disconnected. At least for me.
I found it hard to sympathize with the main characters. Everything was happening too fast and too vague. I kept hoping things would get better during the second half but it just kept getting worse.
The actors were good but I don't think they were great. I think this movie was extremely over-hyped, which is really such a shame because Ang Lee is a great director and four leads are very good actors.
For me, choosing between Crash and Brokeback Mountain was a no brainer. The right movie won, IMO.
