This ground has been covered before, in a better way.

Rating: 3/10 (24 September 2005)

This was a film with obvious artistic aspirations. Yet there were some huge plot problems that prevented it from being what it intended. Basically, the good actors in Crash deserved a better script. There was way too much reliance on coincidence in the story line. I could not suspend dramatic disbelief as people's lives kept criss-crossing and intersecting in ways that were totally implausible. The likelihood that this could have happened in a city as huge as Los Angeles is nil. The complex themes the film attempted to raise also deserved a more thorough treatment. This murky territory was better covered in Magnolia.
