Plot: Issues of race and gender cause a group of strangers in Los Angeles to physically and emotionally collide in this drama from director and screenwriter Paul Haggis. Graham (Don Cheadle) is a police detective whose brother is a street criminal, and it hurts him to know his mother cares more about his ne'er-do-well brother than him. Graham's partner is Ria (Jennifer Esposito), who is also his girlfriend, though she has begun to bristle at his emotional distance, as well as his occasional insensitivity over the fact he's African-American and she's Hispanic. Rick (Brendan Fraser) is an L.A. district attorney whose wife, Jean (Sandra Bullock), makes little secret of her fear and hatred of people unlike herself. Jean's worst imaginings about people of color are confirmed when her SUV is carjacked by two African-American men -- Anthony (Chris Bridges, aka Ludacris), who dislikes white people as much as Jean hates blacks, and Peter (Larenz Tate), who is more open minded. Cameron (Terrence Howard) is a well-to-do African-American television producer with a beautiful wife, Christine (Thandie Newton). While coming home from a party, Cameron and Christine are pulled over by Officer Ryan (Matt Dillon), who subjects them to a humiliating interrogation (and her to an inappropriate search) while his new partner, Officer Hansen (Ryan Phillippe), looks on. Daniel (Michael Pena) is a hard-working locksmith and dedicated father who discovers that his looks don't lead many of his customers to trust him. And Farhad (Shaun Toub) is a Middle Eastern shopkeeper who is so constantly threatened in the wake of the 9/11 attacks that he decided he needs a gun to defend his family. Crash was the first directorial project for award-winning television and film writer Haggis. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Good Movie Bad Bluray
Added 1/7/2010
This is a warning, dont buy this movie not for the plot itself, just for the bad bad quality of the bluray picture, I cant believe they even bother to clean the grains in the movie, is the worst bluray movie i've ever seen, nevertheless this is one of my favorite movies of all the time

"Crash" Lands With a Thud

White, liberal guilt at its worse. Wanna see a more realistic movie about Los Angeles and laugh while you're doing? Check out the comedy "L.A. Proper" on Amazon Video on Demand.

L.A. Proper is a comedy about a multi-ethnic group of friends looking for love, sex, work and happiness during the long days and short nights of Los Angeles.

ridiculous premise but I enjoyed it anyway
Added 1/5/2010
Multicultural America rife with animosity, conflict between incompatible cultures and prejudice. Half true stereotypes that are sometimes confirmed and sometimes overturned in surprising ways. Acts of violence that through luck hurt no one and acts of mercy that end in violence due to fear and misunderstanding. As Rodney King said "Why can't we all get along?" How boring!

The acting is good, the directing is good, the editing is good. An enjoyable movie even if the premise is idiotic and irritating. The way the film is put together reminds me of Cela's La Colmena.

This was a great 5 star movie dealing with people and their mistakes and how they learned from them. the movie had a great cast, i had seen the movie before but i just rented it again and now i purchased it, it is a must own. it deals with many issues like social injustice and frankly we can all learn from this movie.
