Well intentioned

Rating: 4/10 (5 March 2006)

'Crash' is about racism, a big cause for conflict, misunderstandings and so on, as seen here between different ethnic groups as well as the more common "white against non-white" divide. That is important to bring up and much more important to do something with. L.A. was chosen as the backdrop quite wisely as it is one of the most segregated big cities.
There is not much wrong with this movie, the trouble is more that its so easy to understand what its about that for an experienced movie-goer its not very rewarding. And Sandra Bullock and Matt Dillon are respectively overacting and stone-faced.
That the message of this movie is very important and needs to be widely understood is another thing.
