The ‘writer’ of Million Dollar Baby, Paul Haggis (and I’m sure there’s a joke here) used his sudden fame to direct his first big movie, Crash – no relation to the Cronenberg yuck-fest.
This is better made than the Eastwood movie, but is one of those annoyingly shapeless movies which critics love (‘a multi-character mosaic’) and everyone else hates. Characters float in and out of the plot like the script pages were shuffled, there’s a vague point about racism being forcefully made and if you like being patronized, step right up.
Somehow Haggis assembled an amazing cast for this twaddle – Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, William Fichtner, Brendan Fraser and er, Tony Danza…

[...] Haggis, who used to have a solid career writing TV shows before creating preachy atrocities like Crash and Million Dollar Baby. Anyway, I decided that I’d give him the benefit of the doubt, as [...]
