A Black police detective has difficulty sharing his problems with his Puerto Rican partner and lover. Two white cops deal with the older partner's racist leanings. A Black couple deals with racism on a daily basis. "Crash", written and directed by Paul Haggis ("Million Dollar Baby", TV's "EZ bi Streets") handles all of these characters, and more, in a way that demands your undivided attention. As you watch these characters come alive and interact with one another, you bi realize bi that you are watching the work of a highly skilled filmmaker. It is difficult to write about a film like "Crash". If I write in too much detail, I may give away a revelation or two, spoiling something in the film. If I write in vague terms, I won't be able to address the film adequately and convince you of the film's greatness. Oh, yes, "Crash" is a great film. I have just barely grazed the surface of everything that happens to the various characters.
