Review of Crash:
Crash is one of my favorite movies, due to how Paul Higgins was able to interweave all the different points of view of racism together. It deals with the racial stereotypes of whites, blacks, asians, middle-easterns, and latinos. I find that ludacris does a good job in an acting roll. It's a tragic movie, so don't watch it if you're looking for something to brighten the mood.
