Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2006)

"Crash" was a big, satisfying surprise for me. I was kind of skeptical because there was a lot of hype surrounding it. I'm glad to say that I enjoyed this movie for it's whole running time.
Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Terrence Howard, and Michael Peña carry the movie on their back with their performances. Excellent job by mature actors. All of them gave the best of them and support their recent Oscar nominations. Sandra Bullock, Ludicrous, Ryan Phillipe, Jennifer Esposito and the rest of the supporting cast also deliver a great performance. Overall, the cast is perfect and makes the movie worth watchable because of it. Special mentions for Bahar Soomekh for a solid, believable performance. I must also say that she's extremely beautiful and sexy.
The situations are not all about racism. It's also about the way that people can demonstrate feelings towards other people not caring about their race, religion, or origins. The movie shows that everyone can discriminate and also, that everyone can change for good. For example; Maria (Sandra Bullock's domestic employee) showed that she was a better friend for Mrs. Cabot than her so believed best friend. Matt Dillon's character really cared and risked his life for Cameron's wife when she had an accident even that he molested her the day before. That message shows that all human beings can get along and live in the same place.
"Crash" is a light dramatic movie with a message, a positive message that will stay in your mind forever. This is the kind of movie to watch in order to feel good after the credits. The movie offers excellent acting, a great plot, perfect atmosphere, soundtrack, and excellent direction. What else can you ask for? Haggis is a film maker with a huge future. Please watch this movie. It's not overrated as many others say. "Brokeback Mountain" may be a good movie but not as strong as "Crash".
