Fearless

This deeply considered Peter Weir drama is a good object lesson in Jeff Bridges' talents. Bridges is so naturalistic that it can look casual, especially up against the effective raw wailing of Oscar nominee Rosie Perez as a fellow survivor grieving her dead son. The complexities of his performance exist in shaded expressions and questing eyes. Weir's usual elegant directing showcases Bridges' work, even it is occasionally susceptible to some minor dents in the script.

Underrated masterpiece. No one went to see it because they were freaked out by plane crash and its aftermath. Jeff Bridges is brilliant.

Truly interesting, unconventional take on the overcoming of trauma. Well-written. Nothing more, but that should be enough.

Fearless is a lot like The Mosquito Coast in that it's about a man who alienates himself from those who love him most. It's a lot more intense and isn't afraid to explore controversial subjects. And you can't have a bad movie with a Volvo in it.

This is one long emotional rollercoaster of a movie that deals with loss, of course fear, but also living after you were supposed to have died. If you know, you know, and I do having survived a car crash, which is what inspired the movie's writer. Jeff Bridges is exceptional, so is Rosie Perez.
