Don't Believe The Hype!

Rating: 3/10 (28 September 2005)

I rented Crash from my local video store because a friend recommended it. I admit I was slightly skeptical about a tag line that suggests that you don't know yourself until you finish watching this particular movie. After this supposed eye opening movie finished I, unfortunately experienced no such revelation. I was left mostly with disappointment and anger. Disappointment because I wasted both time and money on this movie, and anger because so many viewers believe in such a contrived, unrealistic portrayal of characters and racism. This film is designed to manipulate viewers into believing that it's a brave and thought provoking story about racism, but it's far from the truth. Crash is Trash and nothing more than a poorly written/directed script with big budget waste of time and subject.
