And, during the next 36 hours, they will all collide. 'Crash' takes a provocative, unflinching look at the complexities racial tolerance in contemporary America. Diving headlong into the melting pot of post-9/11 Los Angeles, this urban drama tracks the volatile intersections of multi-ethnic characters as they struggle to overcome their fears while careening in and out of one another's lives. In the gray area between black and white, victim and aggressor, there are no easy answers.

    An extremely well-executed product of a powerful and intelligent concept for a film. Directed with all the subtlety of a car crash, though, and blunt to the point of inaccuracy.

    Follows the intertwining and racially charged stories of ten or more characters in Los Angeles, including a racist cop (Matt Dillon), a pair of black car thieves, a Hispanic locksmith, and a Persian immigrant shopkeeper. Beautifully acted by a huge ensemble cast and wonderfully ...( read more)scripted, if you can get past the fact that every storyline was jotted down on the back of a race card.

    Conceited and contrived, Crash is quite sickening really. This is Hollywood at its very worst and very typical of Paul Haggis. This is just tripe dressed up to be Oscar fodder and an absolute insult to intelligence.

    Crash is one of the Oscar winning movies of recent years that deserve every piece of praise they got. Not only does it deal with a very delicate topic, racism in all its forms, in a very honest and true fashion, it is also brilliantly told. How the lives of all the characters inv...( read more)olved are connected, all portrayed excellently by an outstanding cast, is pure genius. Carried by beautiful cinematography and a hypnotic score the movie creates plenty of incredibly touching scenes, the highlights being the car crash that makes you shake in excitement, the impenetrable cloak and the final "In the deep" montage. Touching, intelligent, true. In short: a must see and masterpiece.

    The winner of the Best Picture Oscar at the 2006 Academy Awards, this is a film I hold in extremely high regard. It's one of those very modern films that has an ensemble cast filled with fantastic performances and it tackles a red hot subject - rascism. The film walks a fine line...( read more), as many films that tackle this subject do, but manages to stay on the right side coming off as respectful rather than offensive. It's one of the films of recent years I have rewatched the most and it still hasn't lost its appeal

    I'm a Brit, but it seems the same issues exist wherever you go. Thought provoking

    The deserving winner of the Oscar for Best Picture in 2006 is an incredibly poignant morality study on racism, intolerance and xenophobia, so intense and powerful that it hits the most loathsome sores of society in a very much unsettling way - and it can certainly make you cry an...( read more)d feel deeply unnerved, and stay with you long after it is over.
