Not as impressed as others

Rating: 6/10 (31 January 2006)

Crash was an okay film. I liked the actors, but thought that the dramatic situations were just too contrived and the ending was too sappy - There were too many story lines to really get into feeling anything for any of these characters. By the end I just felt that I had been manipulated into feeling bad and sorry for these people, by the flashes of heart-wrenching situations. Very surprised that this is a real contender for an Academy Award - there are more deserving films out there..I think that if it does win anything it's purely because of the hype and advertising it is getting and not because it is a truly deserving film. One positive though - this is one of the only films that I actually liked Sandra Bullock in - probably because of her limited role. Finally, someone realized that she is a good supporting actress.
