Finally

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2005)

A film that exposes a lot of America to its core. A brilliant film, a incredible cast, all delivering superb acting abilities, even Ludicrous excels as his character.
Paul Higgins is to be commended for this inspiring work of art. One idea i got from the film is the hypocrysy of many people.
We see the multi-layering of the characters, many of the "bad" characters(Mat Dillion) turn out "good" after we see their/his situation.
Many of the "good" character (Ryan Phillipe) turn out "Bad", again due to circumstances.
From this, one can synthesise the idea of not judging. Along with that theme, the viewer sees the real American soul, where political, social, economical euphamism are ripped away by the raw truth.
What a disturbing revelation.
A TRULY amazing film that deserves to win a heap of awards. Either CRASH or BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN should win the Oscar next year for BEST PICTURE.
Hope the summary and ideas help. Nic.
