Trivia:
One of the things that inspired the movie was that Paul Haggis was carjacked himself. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Daniel is leaving his daughter's room after the cloak story scene, he pauses at the door to look at her. The light switch is in the down position and the lights are on. We see the daughter in bed with the lights on, and then cut to Daniel about to leave the room where the light switch is still down, and he pretends to flip it down as the lights go off. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Graham: It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.

Was it that bad of a year??, 19 March 2006
1/10
Author: chrimaliz from Portland, Ore.

A cross between a bad Benneton commercial and an after school special.

Totally contrived. Not one character nor scene was believable. Best Picture??

Truly disappointing.

I can't give any of the (otherwise decent) actors any respect for this "crash".

And now I'm truly convinced that the Academy is absolutely clueless.

There were so many moments that I wanted to get up and walk out.

Thank god a couple behind us were snickering more about how ridiculous this movie was.

No wonder "we're" such a joke.
