A great film. Touching and wonderful.

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2005)

Ty Burr of the Boston Globe said "There will be people who will think ''Crash" is the most important film they have seen in years". I'm one of those people. Mr. Burr couldn't seem to get a grip on the intense characters and rocketing story lines, but if he had, he would have seen why so many people are drawn to this film.
I can't stress enough the importance of a film like this in today's world. It's a film with a heart and soul, something Hollywood is sorely lacking. It has the cast that every film should have: Actors who can play their parts to the rafters and create something real. The only "name" in the film (Sandra Bullock) has an altogether minor role. The real stars in this film are Don Cheadle, Ryan Phillippe, Brandon Frasier, Shaun Toub, Michael Pena, and Chris Bridges (yes, even Ludicrous put his persona aside to give a wonderful performance), with bitingly wonderful supporting roles from William Fitchner, Keith David, and Loretta Devine. All these unsung heroes of film deserve a moment in the spotlight for this work. This movie sets the bar for this years Oscar, not to mention all of our moral lives.
