REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 28-Jul-2006)

CRASH is West Coast, specifically LA, as skewed a view of the world as that shown in Chinatown. That said, it is also very good (to be fair, East Coast -- New York, Boston, Philadelphia -- world views are even more skewed and formulaic). Haggis plays against the usual formulas and cliches to great effect ... at least until you catch the rhythm of the movie and begin to anticipate outcomes. Even so, there are several deservedly praised moments that will choke up most viewers. Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton, Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock and more turn in exceptional work. CRASH succeeds and is viewed best as an ensemble piece. No truly deep thoughts here, but clearer and more honest thoughts on race and class than has been seen in a mainstream movie in at least a decade.
