Ryan Phillippe in Crash

Screenwriter Paul Haggis&#8216; multiple award-winning directorial début is set in a Los Angeles that is part Quentin Tarantino, part Paul Thomas Anderson, part Spike Lee, and part Bret Easton Ellis; it is also a surreal place that has precious little in common with the actual Southern California metropolis. 
Crash is all about how the Angeleno boiling &#8212; definitely not melting &#8212; pot is about to explode at any minute. According to Haggis and co-screenwriter Bobby Moresco, Los Angeles denizens spend all [...]]]></description>

Director: Clint Eastwood
Screenplay: Paul Haggis, mostly from &#34;Million $$$ Baby,&#34; one of the six short stories found in F. X. Toole&#8217;s (aka Jerry Boyd) Rope Burns: Stories from the Corner
Cast: Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, Morgan Freeman, Jay Baruchel, Mike Colter, Lucia Rijker
