Lack of good storyline.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

What a film. Brave and daring script employs brave and daring actors to give you a morality tale to uncomfortable for many. It is quite amazing to watch, but the meaning is what leaves that long lasting impression.

Los Angeles citizens with vastly separate lives collide in interweaving stories of race, loss and redemption. Crash has a terrific cast of people but unfortunately the film was just a mess of different stories put up together to create a messy drama that doesn't affect me and from what i've heard? Not other people as well but if you enjoy this kind of movies? Perhaps check it out but honestly? There's way better oscar nominated movies out there who deserved better recognation and unfortunately never got it for some reason that i don't understand. (0/10)

The acting was superb, the story was impeccably woven.People tend to either love or hate this movie. Some of the criticisms I have seen:1). Lack of realism. Characters and situations not plausible. Certainly true but not necessarily strikes against the film. Extraordinary situations make for a gripping story. Implausible characters are legitimate if they serve as a path toward insight into real people. 2). Too formulaic. (this one I can't comprehend. Perhaps on a superficial level. I read one critic referred to something along the lines of there being a "interwoven stories of an alienated populace in Los Angeles" genre.The most striking thing in this movie to me is the morally bipolar characters. Those characters who have a strong moral component alternately exhibit extreme good and extreme evil. None of the characters have the moral tenor of traditional dramatic characters- good guys, bad guys, bad guys with a streak of good, good guys who bend the rules, etc.It doesn't seem obvious to me what this is trying to tell us about real people, but it does force us to look at people from a very different perspective than we have been taught and are accustomed to doing.When I read that Ta Nehisi Coates loathed the movie, I knew that I had judged it correctly. This is not a film that will appeal to one dimensional minds.

An all-star cast including Terrence Howard, Thandie Newton, Matt Damon, Ryan Phillipe, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Larenz Tate, Don Cheadle, Michael Pena, Sandra Bullock, Keith David, William Fichtner, Tony Danza, and Brendan Fraser give performances ranging from excellent to searing in this ensemble meditation on racism in America.The screenplay is intelligent, funny, tragic, gripping, and naturalistic, depicting lifelike characters who speak and act in believable ways; each is noble and ignoble by turns. Practically every character does something unexpected at some point, yet it's all not only convincing but illuminating.The music, the cinematography, and the editing are all excellent. The screenplay is so intricately constructed that it really takes two consecutive viewings to comprehend it, as there are a good many details whose significance cannot be appreciated until further information is revealed. There are moments of laughter, moments of terror, and moments when you just can't help feeling love and pity for the whole struggling human race.All in all: A great movie.
