Crash is beautiful to look at, wonderfully acted, and has a great soundtrack. How unfortunate that it has to be torpedoed by a completely unbelievable plot. Complex storylines and crossing paths can make a movie when they make sense—Syriana was challenging but believable in this regard—but Crash eventually collapses under the weight of its own coincidences.

It’s unfortunate, but the movie is a mess, and it doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. 6/10.
