A great intelligent, must see movie

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2006)

Crash is not a movie for everyone. If you want a Disney fairy tale with a Hollywood ending, do not watch this movie. If you want a mindless tale of action, or romance, or a comedy - this movie is not for you. If you can't bear tragedy and abuse on the screen, this movie above all will be a waste of your time and money. If you are looking for an intelligent movie with intriguing characters and an unforeseeable plot, you can not find a better movie in the 21st century.
Crash is about several people living in Los Angeles that deal with emotional and practical problems. Yes, it is a vague description, but I did label this comment as a non-spoiler so that's as detailed as I can get. I will say this however. From the very start, the plot takes turns that are absolutely un-foreseen. Those of you who watch movies to impress your friends by figuring out the whole plot a third the way through - don't even try (you will be embarrassed). One of the best aspects of this movie is how unpredictable it is and how it breaks stereotypes . The characters are all three-dimensional, and are loved and hated. The writing is amazing and so is acting.
Despite all the great components of the film listed above, it is not without it's own problems. First of all, I won't use any specific examples, but Crash is a tough movie to watch and you will feel bad for 90% of the 100 minute film. The movie for the most part is not entertaining, the stories within it are dark and miserable. You must also watch the movie with an open mind - any plot turns and events must be accepted no matter how unlikely they may seem.
If you can keep an open mind and deal with the darkness, Crash will be mind-blowing. It will give you a view on people and life no other movie does. Truly, saying that Crash is a must-see movie is an understatement.
