I’ll come back to Crash the TV show, but for now, the acting doesn’t exactly induce gaper’s block.
-
Crash doesn't burn so much as it simmers. It's provocative and intriguing, but leaves you wondering if the whole setup might not simply work better as a movie.
-
Not surprisingly, Crash, the TV series, does not measure up very well against the film in terms of atmosphere and acting.
-
The show clearly wants to say something complicated about race and class in Los Angeles, but a number of the situations and characters on the show feel like situations and people we’ve seen before (starting with the movie that lends the series its name).
-
It's an hour of unpleasant yet bland people occasionally bumping into each other and saying racially provocative things.
-
They're a largely unlikable lot of crooked cops, adulterers and Hopper's long-winded, nutso music mogul. It's one thing to spend a movie with these characters, but it's quite another to tune in for 13 weeks.
-
At once schematic and preachy, it never indicates the stakes--either for its “diverse” players or for you.
-
Although slickly made with a nod to noir between sermonettes, Crash features far too much Dennis Hopper as a drug-addled music producer.
