Crashes then burns....

Rating: 5/10 (11 October 2005)

"Crash" is not that great of a movie. In fact, by the time it is said and done, it is hardly a complete movie at all. I'm still not sure what the theme of this movie is?? Racism? What you have with "Crash" is a few interlocking stories with various people that happen to cross each others paths. "Crash" has a fantastic ensemble of actors and actresses, but each persons character and storyline isn't completely developed. I guess that's the problem when your trying to tell 5 or more stories at once.
All in all this is just an O.K. picture. You won't feel any better or worse having watched it by the time the credits roll. If anything you may wish you'd passed on this one. That is how this reviewer felt. Kind of a droll movie that attempts to make an impact- but doesn't really.
It delivers a promising premise... but it could have been much more with a better script and some more character development fleshed out. The acting is definitely solid- but the rest of the film is severely flawed.
"Crash" is just one hell of an average movie.
