Crash
2004 · 112 min · R-rated · 7.7/10 on IMDb
Also known as [L.A. Crash].
crime, drama, thriller
A detective (Don Cheadle) with a heroin addict mother and criminal brother investigates the shooting of a black cop by a white one. Two hoodlums (Larenz Tate and Ludacris) jack the car of the District Attorney (Brendon Fraser) and his angry, racist wife (Sandra Bullock). Terrence Howard and Thandie Newton play an upper-class African American couple harassed by a racist cop (Matt Dillon). And the chaos continues, with other roles played by Tony Danza, Michael Pena, and Jennifer Esposito. A propulsive Mark Isham score keeps the disparate narrative threads electrified from the get-go; when they finally connect, the results are explosive and beautiful. Everything is tied together with tight editing and artistic shots of car headlights cutting through dense morning smog.
Director: Paul Haggis, Actors: Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Thandie Newton, Matt Dillon, Jennifer Esposito, Brendan Fraser, William Fichtner, Loretta Devine, Terrence Howard, Sean Cory
