'Crash' is definitely a film worth seeing.

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2007)

'Crash' is definitely a film worth seeing. It combines a gripping plot, a lot of breathtaking cinematography, a though-provoking script and some of the best performances seen in years. Although 'Crash' was not a blockbuster, it received brilliant reviews and won three Oscars and many other awards.
The film 'Crash' tells the story of different inter-related characters, whose relationships to each other are only revealed in the end. The film is set in Los Angeles and the events take place over a period of two days. 'Crash' shifts between a collection of seemingly unconnected short stories and that way keeps the audience guessing what happens next. The drama is set against a racist LAPD and American justice system. I would say the plot was very inventive and absorbing. It also captures many contemporary problems and makes the audience think about the complexity of life.
The main characters were very realistic and the whole cast made a spectacular performance. Particularly well-played was Matt Dillon's character officer John Ryan. This might have been due in part to the superb script. Unlike most of the contemporary films, 'Crash' almost lacked any kind of special effects and therefore made the audience concentrate more on the plot and ulterior motive.
This is a film that you should not miss. 'Crash' is a rare high-quality masterpiece from generally commercialized Hollywood. All in all, 'Crash' has paved a road for the success of profound films.
