Title: Crash
Post by: roverthtaeh on November 26, 2006, 09:53:50 PM
Just watched a rental movie on DVD called 'Crash', from 2005 apparently.
Kevin Dillon and Sandra Bullock were in it.
I'd not heard of this film before tonight and only really chose it at random, but I would recommend it to anyone.
There is some strong language and an obvious racial tension theme but the way the film interweaves the characters and their respective outlooks on life was a refreshing change.
By the end, I realised I had just seen an exceptionally good movie with a very clever storyline.
Just thought I'd pass on my thoughts.

Trev.

It's a great movie, very emotional, especially one point in particular which I won't mention incase anyone is going to watch it.  Brought a tear to my eye more than once.

Features the very talented Don Cheadle who never fails to be convincing.

Not surprised you hadn't heard of it, it did only win 6 Oscars last year!   :blonde:

Seriously though, I only saw it a few weeks ago myself and would recommend it to anyone who's not yet seen it.

Even as a cockney explosives expert?

Leave it out.

No idea which film you're referring to and not a role I'd cast him in.

I was very doubtful about this film - 'not my type of thing' - but very very good.

Could someone please tell me the film Don Cheadle plays a 'cockney explosives expert' in so I can be sure to avoid it!

I've just tracked down a film he was in years back about a legendary basketball star who got stuck in the Harlem drug scene and so never made the NBA. Thankfully, nothing more explosive than his phenomenal vertical.

'Rebound-The Legend of Earl "The Goat" Manigault'

Cheers...

Can't avoid it as I've seen it already...lol

Have no recollection of him in it though. Only remember a few scenes from that film as it was pretty much high on style and lacking in substance. I prefer the original though many think the remake is better.
