I appreciated the movie and understood the messages and meanings behind the surface, it just wasn't entertaining for me. It didn't have me enthralled in the stories.

Crash is a marvel of storytelling and directing. Yes, the interlocked stories are often based on the most contrived of coincidences. However, with inspired acting by a stellar ensemble cast and some skillful writing, the film is composed of multiple scenes and vignettes that still pack an emotional punch and thematic worth. One of 2005's best.

Most movie reviewers have dismissed this film, in recent years, but I don't agree with their criticisms. This is a raw and brutally honest character piece that brings out some moral and emotional conflicts in all of us. The ensemble cast is just great.

This film is impressive on so many levels. The interweaving arcs provide no easy answers for who or what is to blame for racism, but rather has us take a long look inside at our own predjudices

I don't why everyone who liked this movie when it came out are now hating on it so much. I STILL like it! So there!

Goodness sakes: this movie left me spellbound. From the beginning to the end, hands down this is one of the best-written movies of all time. Paul Haggis is a genius when it comes to provoking thought as well as making me sob like a little boy who discovered that life isn't full of candy and gum-drops. What makes this movie so powerful and effervescent to the mind is how amazing all the actors portray their characters, with such honesty and integrity, you can't help but feel overwhelmed at how much we affect each other, and how one bad decision can lead to someone's tragedy.

Despite the lingering stodginess of this box-office hit, it's worth watching because of the glaring message that we are all connected. It's a call to self examination, how we look at the great cultural divide, the human condition, and how we are dealing with it. Nice reminder.

The film is just people running into each other and it causes racial tension. Over and over again. Almost all of them are a bit forced and almost all are just too over the head. This film lacks subtlety which it should of had somewhere but it does not. That is its only problem but it is a severe problem because it causes you just to say enough already. I don't mean the content is the problem just the way that it is presented. Oscar Nominee Matt Dillon 3/5- Dillon is good as the racist cop. He really does not do anything that is extremely unique or anything that he did not seem capable of but he is good as the bad cop, and tries his best to make the scenes effective.
