Good movie, But a little over the top

Rating: 7/10 (18 March 2005)

I just saw "Crash". I have to say it was a good film, defiantly better then a lot of films put out today. If you compare Crash to movies like Magnolia and 21 grams, Which are the same type of those interweaving movies that bring together many characters, it simply just does not compare. Crash is focused on playing the "Race card", and if you ask me the biggest problem about this movie is I think it was very overplayed in some scenes. In a couple scenes they take the things way to far out of proportion. This movie has that type of up close filming that is in your face and meant to be dramatic and intense. The only thing wrong with this is that the used it thought-out the whole movie, and when the intense scenes did come along this filming method did not have the full effect. The film Crash will bring you through a roller-coaster of emotions and is worth seeing. Just when you go, don't expect to see a Magnolia or a 21 grams.
