The style is gimmicky, and the content is unrealistic and contrived

Rating: 1/10 (13 March 2016)

It's hard to watch most didactic fictional movies that infer we should give personal importance to its message, and nothing is more unimpressive than contrived and superficial didactic movies. Great movies containing themes of social injustice and prejudice are usually great stories first that innately hold within them a potent message. So when you get a pretentious movie like this that uses two dimensional PC characters combined with the worst of contrived situations to try and artificially generate a powerful message, it ends up feeling silly and fake. That is what Crash really is; a plastic diamond. And once you realize that you just watched a forgery of social truth, it's value immediately evaporates as being just another dumb movie.
