 Rated 1 out of 5
Dark, edgy with few worthwhile scenes
Those who play this off as some "deep" psycho drama on portraying sexuality based on car crashes and mechanization of society...
I never made that leap... Aside from the scene where they recreate James Dean’’s car crash (very Tarentino’’ish) I thought the movie was a waste of time. It’’s more of a masochistic fetish softporn??? The dialog is weak and the acting is even WEAKER Hint: Arquette is in it. I wouldn’’t even recommend renting this.If you want a dark, edgy and sometimes funny movie check out "the Salton Sea" or re-watch pulp fiction ...again
If you’’re jones’’n for some Cronenberg, the new Criterion release of "Naked Lunch" is excellent as well.  Rated 4 out of 5
Sex And Car Crashes
"Crash" is one of the most unique sexual movies released in 1996/1997. It stars James Spader, Rosanna Arquette, Elias Koteas, and Oscar winner Holly Hunter. This movie combines pornography and dangerous car crashes, giving a theme that few other movie producers have dared. The stunt work and the action scenes are great, especially the car accident scenes. Some may mistake such crashes as real-life ones. The visual effects are wonderful. They offer the gruesome, graphic look at car crashes. The original score was composed brilliantly, combining perfectly with the sex/car crash theme. The screenplay was uniquely written. The writer accomplished the difficult task of placing sexuality in car crashes. Another accomplished difficult task is having graphic sex scenes without distracting the plot. The acting is great. Hunter’’s role as an obsessed car crash artist stands out. "Crash" is a great movie for those looking for sexuality and controversy. The audiences will remember this movie for a long time.
