definitely overrated

Rating: 4/10 (9 May 2006)

I think this movie is overrated. Now I have seen all other four Oscar nominated films and this one is definitely not ground-breaking or keeps me thinking as the others did. This movie conveys the concept of racism in a rather manipulated way. Too fake for me I would say. Matt Dillon and Terrence Howard did a great job, but I would not say those were unforgettable performances. After watching "Brokeback Mountain" and "Capote," the desire to know more about the subjects and thoughts lingering in my head for couple of days. "Crash" fails to achieve the similar effect on me.
Overall, I would say this is a pure Holleywood movie. Way too commercial without enough depth.
