Crash (2004)
Crash (2004), Paul Haggis:
Lots of buzz/hype leading up to this. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I heard enough good word of mouth to hope for the best.
The acting is top notch. Don Cheadle leads an outstanding ensemble. I mean, everyone's so good I completely missed both Marina Sirtis and Tony Danza saying "Who's the boss?".
Don Cheadle has a great line in the beginning of the movie how in LA people never actually come into contact with other people, and of course this movie is about that. I couldn't really get over the fact that this seemed at times like an After School Special on steroids; you could feel the liberal guilt spilling over into the seats. That's not to say it's a "liberal" type of movie, but the Moral of the movie just features so prominently that it interferes with seeing the characters interact with each other.
5/15
