Film Review - The Crash
January 12, 2017
“The Crash” isn’t very good at predicting the future. Shot nearly four years ago, the picture imagines a tomorrow that takes place in 2017, where the world is besieged by cyber terrorism and America is commanded by Hillary Clinton. Sadly, iffy forecasting isn’t the worst of the feature’s ills. Writer/director Aram Rappaport (“Syrup”) has much more difficulty trying to sell the hysteria of online horror with a limited cast and budget, working overtime to create excitement where there isn’t any. “The Crash” concerns a modern version of doomsday, where terror emerges from hacking, not bombs, but it’s a remarkably silly take on the end of the world, and the more Rappaport tries to pull urgency out of thin air, the harder the movie flounders, finding its title more descriptive of production ambition than dramatic content.
