Meh


Had a great cast and I dig the color scheme. But the majority of the characters were there for dialogue and had no purpose to the film. We're introduced to characters and watch them for maybe 10 minutes and then we don't see them again with no idea of why they were even in the film. There was no climax or conclusion. However it was amusing. The writing was good at some parts, could have been tweaked at other times. And I'll watch anything with Carla Gugino.

Yes, yes, and yes.

it was like some kind of weird "out of work" actor work program...

awful..truly awful writing.

like transformers with more talking, and no robots.

Just watched it. I respect the film for giving hope to aspiring filmmakers. However, the film itself is like an unfocused and poor version of Pulp Fiction. Felt the acting was on point though.

I respect the film, just didn't like it.

There are some well-said points in this thread.

Over-written


These are excellent ways to describe this movie. While I thought some characters were interesting - Zachary Quinto, Carla Gugino, and the guy who stole her wallet. The rest were just there for the dialogue. I personally didn't find the dialogue good and I usually like talky films. But I was still mostly entertained with it.

Good thread. Op I agree. I also gave it 3/10.

What Pulp Fiction had as well as Crash, to a lesser degree, was twists that turned the story on its head. Who would dare argue the Christopher Walken's character was out of place in PF, but Dodge? Who cares?

It felt like how you feel like in a party when you run out of fun things to do or talk about and just ramble on about inane things while you all go to sleep, one by one. Amusing, but ultimately not enough to hold your attention.

Very nicely put, I like movies with interesting dialogue, and I really wanted to like this movie cause I like most of the folks in it, but found myself bored and wanting more.
