Crash (1997)

Waste of Money.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This really is weird and sick. The film is not boring at all. It is really twisted from beginning to end. The violence is a little sickening but the real shocks come from the perverse and sick acts that are performed in the film. There are no points that you don't want to watch but there are points when you don't want to see. Nothing particularly profound in this film but it makes you wonder what other people are doing and it makes you realise how much you are reliant on other people not wanting to kill themselves on the roads bringing you down to. Don't drive immediately after this.

I know it had big stars such as Holly Hunter before she was widely known as Mrs.Incredible in Disney's "The Incredibles" and James Spader before he did his second romantic erotic movie "The Secretary". However, I thought the movie wasn't that great because I didn't really understand the whole story line, I felt it was too rushed and all over the top!I really didn't think Hunter and Spader's characters weren't really the match for each other and it was like, they were forced to do the sex scenes rather than enjoying them in a passionate way. Maybe it would've been better if he was partnered with Maggie Gyllenhaal 6 years earlier, then it would be better in my opinion. Not really a movie that I would find the best erotic movie out there but rather a boring one :/

Crash is a film I do not have many good things to say about and yet still cannot downrate it because I do like the cast and always enjoy the signature Cronenberg material sensuality that conveys highly distinct tactile sensations via light and sound. That said, Crash is a boring movie and not so much edgy as something to be endured. Crash does not feel cool or adventurous and yet most of the film is action; it is like a pornographic movie -- not much plot but just goes through different scenarios, yet does not feel sexy and so does not create tension. The vibe is corrupt, uncool, and dystopic like a glam rock band playing in the mid 90s to a bored audience in a half-filled stadium that needs to be torn down. They smash their gear and we can only think that it was not worth it, what a waste. I would like to think this was all intentional, because I like other Cronenberg films, but cannot really recommend it except to the curious ones that want to see something different.

This movie shows human beings at their weirdest, as empty shells, desperately seeking to fill themselves up with something, getting high on some experience exceeding their normal life. People grown used to the rush of modern life, finding their reality mundane. Even though it's not. These people all have interesting jobs. They live in an interesting place, but they do not venture away from it. Instead, they seek out the extreme.I see some people describing this movie as sexy. It's about sex, and the characters in the movie seek out intense intimacy of it, but that doesn't make it sexy.While I appreciate much of what this movie does, the mood of it, the weird, etc., I felt it could have conveyed much of that in half the time. I was bored many times throughout the movie. At the same time, I know this is a movie I will be talking and thinking about for a long time.
