Crassshingly great !!

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2006)

Finally I've seen the movie, after reading umpteen reviews and posts that sung praises of the film. I was wondering whether the movie would live up to its publicity levels.
Crash is the best movie I've seen this year bar none. The only competition that I could think of is from "The constant gardener", that too mainly because of the fabulous performances of Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz. Its style of weaving multiple stories with a single thread makes us realize how everything happening around us is all connected.
The performance of Matt Dillon was amazing with a wonderful portrayal of the different shades of his character. The difference of Matt Dillon the "racist bad guy " and Matt Dillon the "good cop with a sense of duty" has been portrayed with great dexterity. Though all the characters and their related plots are well developed, the story about the little girl and her invisible cloak was particularly moving.
All in all Crash is a must watch for all movie buffs who like to "think" about the movie after coming out of the theater.
