This is among my favorite movies ever. I have seen it 3 times in a time period of 2 months so far.

There is no "single" plot to Crash. It has 7 main plots. Many of them are very emotional and powerful. A locksmith and his daughter, 2 detectives, a couple who got carjacked, 2 criminals who are the carjackers, A persian store owner who got robbed and blames it on the locksmith, A cop and his "partner" who pull over a man and his wife for sexual acts, and a screen director and his wife who get pulled over by the cop. All of these people, lives, they intertwine at some point in the movie. And it is truly genius.

The acting is perfection from nearly every actor except Jennifer Esposito, whom I have never been a huge fan of. I find that she lacks the emotion. But the other actors make up for it.

As for the cinematography, the visuals (graphics, effects) are perfect, nothing wrong with it, the audio (the sound, the quality of the sound and the soundtracks) is all great as well. I do not have any criticism for it.

It is a very entertaining movie that may be confusing at first. But it is entertaining as hell, and it does not get old. It is more emotional and sad and dark, but it is very good to watch.

The emotional impact is a 100% from me. It makes you think a lot, and it successfully makes you feel bad for something you probably did not even do. And it does it very well. It is powerful, and very very emotional.

And it is also highly realistic, actually, among the most realistic films I have seen to date. There is nothing I can think of that is unrealistic about this film.

The character development is crazy. Every character has a purpose and is very useful to the film. And the evolution is done so very well.

And finally the ending, and the ending is impeccable. Every story comes to a conclusion at the end. Some are good conclusions, and some are bad. And the good conclusions make you feel great. And the bad conclusions are simply destructing in a good way. There is even a plot twist that was far from expected.

In conclusion: Plot: 10/10 Acting: 9.8/10 Cinematography: 10/10 Characters: 10/10 Entertainment level: 9.9/10 Emotional impact: 10/10 Realism: 10/10 Ending: 10/10

Final rating: 99.625%
