One of the most powerful movies I've ever seen...

Rating: 10/10 (11 September 2005)

...and that's saying a lot.
I managed to catch this movie with some friends who brought it on DVD, and I must say that this is a very intense viewing experience. For those of you who are looking for a blow-by-blow summary of the movie, all I can really say is that I can't explain it; you really have to see it for yourself, and that's to be taken literally. All of the characters and plot lines are so intricately interwoven together that it takes a flowchart to truly understand it without it being seen.
This isn't to say that "Crash" isn't without its flaws. Some of the twists seem a bit far-fetched to me, such as a racist cop who feels a woman up ending up rescuing her the very next day, or another cop trying to intervene on a black screenwriter's behalf, and that's only two small parts out of over 40! One last thing about this movie; no film has ever driven me to tears before; "Crash" is the first. And I am a very hard man to drive to tears.
