Crash is over-rated

Rating: 5/10 (3 September 2005)

I suspect that a lot of white people who think they are informed about racism will think that Crash was astute. I thought it was clumsy and the characters had little depth or reality.
I was expecting some real insight on the subjects of racism and prejudice - there are none - it doesn't make you question yourself and it doesn't enlighten.
The second half is more absorbing than the first and there is tension at moments of danger (of course), but the initial set-ups seemed dumb to me. I think this film thinks that it is making profound comment and it just isn't at all.
