Crash

Rating: 9.2/10
Genre: Crime
Overall value for money and time: 9.6/10

This is an exceptional film. However, I had great difficulty thinking of the genre for this movie. It's not a simple movie you see. Not one that you can categorised simply by "action" or "romance" or "thriller". After much thought, the best term to use, and it's the first time I've introduced this term is "crime". It kinda makes sense since "crime" itself explores a wide range of directives. Do not mistake crime for being just killing sprees and sinister plotting to rob banks. Crime is not restricted by these acts. One such other example is racism, which is addressed in this movie, to a great extend. This movie revolves around several characters in different situations all being interwoven into one big situation. I must say that it's a rather different way of producing such a movie and it's highly refreshing. For the first time, you feel for the bad guy in this movie. This movie demonstrates that everyone is the way they are for a reason. There's always a reason. The plot of this movie gains my upmost respect. An exceptionally thought-provoking movie which leaves you dwelling on it for a long long time...
