Yeah, I saw it for the first time yesterday... I was surprised at how well Ludacris could act as well. A lot of singer/actor/actresses or whatever really aren't that good. But a great film.. I cried. lol.. It was a very touching movie. Helps you realize a couple things.
I'd venture to guess that I can name more decent rapper/actors than terrible ones. Ludacris, Ice-T(on occasion), Tupac, Andre Benjamin, DMX, Ice Cube, and Tyrese Gibson. Anyway, I just watched Crash last night. That is the most truthful, realistic movie I've seen in a long, long time. I continually found myself uttering the words, "What the fuck....?". In a good way of course. I thought it was absolutely worth every bit of the hype that it got, really. I was unbelievably impressed.
You're not nearly as cynical as the tiresome propaganda flick was. This review says it well: http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/610/610533p1.html
