crash with a combine, 17 August 2009
8/10
Author: kai ringler from United States

this movie has some very intense characters, we will start with Chris our lead character who stupidly drives with his headlights off down a country road and proceeds to smash into a parked farm combine. you have gary the leader of the bank robbing crew,, he is shifty,, a person you really can't trust. then you got chris's roommate Lewis, played by Jeff Daniels,, he is blind for this role,, living with Chris, so the two of them both have disabilities, Chris's is a brain trauma, where he basically has to learn everything over again. you got Luvlee Lemons, yes i said that right,, she 's an ex- stripper,, a little cutie who apparently had the hots for Chris before his accident.. some wonder whether she was in on it with Gary and the other bank robbers,, which you would have to decide for yourself.. Alfred Molina plays Chris's father,, an interesting character to watch there,, and you got Bone,,, one of the bank robbers, and then you got a local sheriff who always checks up on chris with a box of donuts.. so all in all this is a very character driven movie,, some action,, but not a lot,, a movie that makes you think,, and takes you into the world of somehow who basically starts over with life.
