I found Crash to be one of the most overrated films of the year, heavy handed and overly preachy. I agree 100% with Matt that the events used to intertwine the various characters together seemed too far fetched and coincidental. For example, the white racist cop just happens to rescue the very same black woman he sexually molested earlier in the film. How convenient! Other ensemble films like Magnolia seem much more organic with the interrelationships with the characters, and handled it much better than Crash.
Also, let me just say that for a film that purports to promote racial tolerance and understanding, the Asian characters sure got the short end of the stick in terms of characterization compared to the other ethnicities: shrill one dimensional charactured stereotypes who deal in human trafficing. Very nice. :rolleyes
