I saw the film Crash on Saturday. I am usually more of a fan of things that have some plot, whereas this film is based almost entirely on characterisation.

The thing I was most pleased about was the fact it did not really make judgements or come down on one side of the fence or the other - it let the viewer decide.

All in all though, a great film, highly recommended.

I thought it was a good film, but I doubt I'd want to see it again.

I (finally) saw this last night and was very impressed. I had no idea it was a film about racial prejudice.

The scene with the father being protected from the gun by his daughter was really moving.

Are we talking the new one or the JG Ballard interpretation?

I thought it was a cracking film. The comedy of the two black lads stealing the car then knocking down the chinese bloke. The tension when the Iranian fella shot the little girl - my heart was in my mouth. It would have been better with a little less of the whole black/white argument, but other than that, thoughly enjoyed it.

Did anyone notice it was the insurance bloke that crashed into the back of the doctors receptionist? I like things like that, everyone was a stranger and yet linked in someway to each others lives.
