Title: Crash and burn
Review: Let me preface this by saying that even though I wasn't moved at all when I first rented this movie, I gave it another chance by renting it again. I'm sorry to say I was even more put off by it the second time around. I read somewhere that if you really want to see an accurate depiction of racism in America, turn your eyes to the footage from the devastation of Katrina. I truly believe that. "Crash" played it safe, it was riddled with clichés, and quite frankly, it was highly unbelievable by any stretch of the imagination. That it was given an Academy Award for Best Picture is a joke -- every other picture in that category deserved it over "Crash," including some that were not even nominated. I think the cinematography was wonderful, and the score was haunting, but Oscar or no Oscar, it is anything but a classic. Ultimately, it's not even a good movie.
