painful and true

this is a very LA movie - even if the actual scene of the climactic crash was filmed north-east of Pico, in Boyle Heights - and one can feel that all the characters are real, not stereotypes. Even though I, as belonging to only one ethnicity/culture, and have only lived in LA south of Pico for a decade I cannot claim to be an expert, but an informed observer.Our cultures here are very isolated compared to San Francisco or New York. But, yes, people in LA do come together in occasional and random ways, like maybe at a Dodgers games (not Lakers - no working man can afford that and still make his rent) and yes, you cannot predict how it's going to turn out. Just like this movie. South of Pico makes your heart break, for the characters, for all the people of LA who live side by side in our cities and ghettos, walled mansions, enclaves, hoods and gated estates but rarely together.

A Boring Waste of Time.

I watched this movie based on the good reviews here, and I won't make that mistake again.The first couple minutes shows that a group of people have been brought together by some tragedy, but you don't see what it is. Flashback 12-hours and we get to see the boring lives of each of these people, which in the end are totally meaningless to what is about to happen. When the ending is finally reveled, you realize that you just wasted an hour of your life waiting for a big payoff that doesn't happen and means nothing to what you have been watching. The only connection these people have is that they have all had a "bad day"--but even that continuity gets lost in the boredom.If this was supposed to be a "Crash" clone, it's a complete failure.

Major Error Found!!

First of talk about major continuity error. The Attempt here was to utilize the style that Tarantino has exploited so much, not invented but exploited. Which is too show You the conclusion of the film first, and then watch how things amount.One grave error though, the snail is on the concrete at the beginning while everything is occurring, and in the end its in her hand while everything is occurring when u see the movie you'll see why its of such importance!! Though some on here say its much like crash without stereotypes true for every race except those of Latin origins...WTF? could it have been any more De-meaning for any Hispanic person? They tried to save it by putting Karla character as half Latin!!but just not that believable But overall it is a good movie just those two issues listed above were wrong in my stand-point opinion.....watch it its a good attempt and rare at times...enjoy
