By far the most captivating scene in the film ‘Crash’ was when Daniel’s daughter gets mistakenly “shot” by Farhad and this ‘Invisible Cloak’ scene is important, shows suspense and should be kept.
The scene starts of with a POV shot viewed through a rearview mirror. Where suddenly a white van appears. Farhad, the Iranian shopkeeper is inside, waiting to ambush Daniel.
