Entertainment Reviews:
Ranked #11 in Rolling Stone's Top 25 DVDs Of 2005' -- [T]he rage sticks, as do the emotions underlying it.
Rolling Stone
Crash is difficult to watch because of the moral chaos it portrays, but it is best film I have seen in a long time.

Sister Rose at the Movies
Mr. Haggis's evident sincerity and intelligence are reflected in the conviction of the cast...
New York Times
This isn't a film for everyone. Crash demands your attention and really makes you think. It's a special film that is clearly among the best I have seen this year.

Bowling Green Daily News
The stunning, must-see drama CRASH is proof that words have not lost the ability to shock in our anesthetized society.
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 2/5 --
Outside of the excellent cast doing their best in impossible situations, there's virtually nothing enjoyable or aesthetically admirable here.

Alternate Ending
[Crash] is familiar enough that it slips easily into our film-watching faculty without any fuss, yet [Haggis'] handling of it -- his muscular belief in what he is doing -- makes us hope that his next screenplay will be a bit less safe.

Product Description:
A stellar cast collides haphazardly in this insightfully written roundelay of racism, rage, and redemption which takes place over the course of one day in LA and involves a circus of cops, robbers, and civilians. A detective (Don Cheadle) with a heroin addict mother and criminal brother investigates the shooting of a black cop by a white one. Two hoodlums (Larenz Tate and Ludacris) jack the car of the District Attorney (Brendon Fraser) and his angry, racist wife (Sandra Bullock). Terrence Howard and Thandie Newton play an upper-class African American couple harassed by a racist cop (Matt Dillon). And the chaos continues, with other roles played by Tony Danza, Michael Pena, and Jennifer Esposito. A propulsive Mark Isham score keeps the disparate narrative threads electrified from the get-go; when they finally connect, the results are explosive and beautiful. Everything is tied together with tight editing and artistic shots of car headlights cutting through dense morning smog. Writer-director Paul Haggis' (writer of MILLION DOLLAR BABY) Los Angeles is a world of alienated people struggling to connect across vast barriers of language, class, and culture; that they manage to do so is testament to their depth as characters more than some trite message of brotherly love. There are no easy answers, but this film is tough, intelligent, and gutsy enough to find some anyway; and for that it's a winner.
