Slant Magazine
The film may be too preposterous to take seriously, but at least writer-director Aram Rappaport trains his sights on the right enemies. - 50
Los Angeles Times
While writer-director-editor Aram Rappaport draws effectively weighted performances (especially from the always committed Driver) and maintains a crisp pace, he’s less adept at balancing those big picture thriller elements with Clifton’s personal journey, which ultimately serves to rob both aspects of greater potency. - 38

These are all cartoon figures out of Frank Capra’s most feverish populist nightmares. - 33
The A.V. Club
The Crash fumbles between bad diatribe and bad domestic drama, complete with subplots about absent parents and childhood cancer. - 30
Village Voice
Of the many disheartening things about The Crash — a script filled with platitudes, casting an able-bodied actor as a wheelchair-bound tech expert, near-criminal underuse of Maggie Q — the worst is its habit of slapping the audience over the head with symbolism. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Several respectable actors offer dicey performances here, but Rappaport's screenplay is the real villain, expecting thin references to real-world financial peril to paper over gaping holes in credibility and plain-old drama. - 20
Wall Street Journal
Watching a bad movie can be fun for reasons that have less to do with its essence than with its trappings. I enjoyed some of the characters’ cardboard and/or plastic names.
