Don't believe the hype!

Rating: 5/10 (7 March 2006)

I have mixed feelings about 'Crash'.
On one hand, this film could potentially be very good. It deals with a sensitive issue in a very frank manner without being P.C, which I like. But on the other hand this film has too many flaws for me to really take it seriously. For instance, when the little girl escapes being shot and she says the line about the invisicoat, it just seemed way too corny for the gritty feel the film was trying to achieve.
Overall, I feel that if the film had managed to resolve some issues at the end (Did Ludicrous' character learn the error of his ways? WTF was all that immigrant stuff about?) it could have been MUCH better.
So, I'm giving this film a 5 because I'm half and half. But it certainly shouldn't have won the Oscar.
