I felt something too!

Rating: 1/10 (6 August 2006)

I had the feeling while watching Crash that the filmmakers were attempting to make an 'Airplane' style parody of both Spike Lee and Robert Altman movies. Except that they didn't let the cast in on the joke.
Crash lost me from the moment the first character you see speaks. Because sometimes, people CRASH into each other, just to feel something. Get it? They CRASH into each other. Just like the title of the movie! It's about as subtle as a jackhammer on concrete. This movie's idea of cleverness was to have a rapper give s speech in which he says rap music was created by whitey to keep the black man down. I might have been willing to go along with it all if any of the characters behaved in ways that were believable. Instead, they just represented various aspects of race, class and prejudice. The whole thing felt like an after school special. Tell me a story, don't get on your soapbox and preach. If I want a sermon I'll go to church.
