Very surprising

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2005)

I just saw this movie yesterday and I'd have to say it really surprised me. I was expecting a good movie which tried to deal with racism in a semi-intelligent manner. It was a lot more than that. Much like Traffic did with the topic of drugs, Crash takes an in-depth look into the topic of race in the United States. It looks at many sides of the issue without getting too preachy or feeling contrived. The ensemble cast is outstanding, especially Don Cheadle, who is one of the most underrated actors of the past few years. Lately he's been able to pick great characters in great movies and always does an amazing job of acting. This is a must see movie, one of the best of the year.
