Definitely not best picture, but still an interesting look at struggling lives.

Rating: Null/10 (24 December 2015)

Paul Haggis' "Crash" is a thoughtful look at the lives of multiple citizens of Los Angeles who, by chance and unprepared circumstances, collide and interact with each other, leaving their lives changed forever, good or bad. This is the kind of movie you feel both good and bad after viewing due to the harsh experiences each character endures, but also due to a hopeful message that Haggis leaves you with. "Crash" won't be on your all-time favorites list, but it'll give you a lot to think about and feel. Each performance is filled with power and dedication, leaving you filled with opinion towards each man and woman who you get to know for a brief amount of time. That's one of the issues: too many characters. The film had a lot of room to add more drama and tension if it toned down the over-usage of characters and focused on its message and purpose: people struggle still due to race and social class every day.
