I used to like Jeff Bridges as an actor. He had this aw shucks manner, self-effacing, gullible, not a devious bone in his body. I think his peak performance was in John Carpenter's Starman, especially his Alien's Interpretation of the Stones' "I Can't Get No Satisfaction". Perfect. A meme of its time. But then poor ole Jeff couldn't seem to shed his Starman persona. His speech mannerisms seemed to adapt themselves to some outer space diction. Then in 1993 along came Fearless & the creased brow, sad downturning eyes & the by this time highly refined aw-Shucks mannerisms get blown up as big as the moon, all for the sake of a sappy pointless sentimentalist flick about a plane crash & those who make it out. Caters to the basest superstitious mindsets. Shame, Jeff, shame.

The movie tells the story of the survivor of an air plane accident that has actually taken place in Sioux City. Jeff Bridges was never better than here and he captured me with his amazing performance. What I liked the most in the film is that it made me think that the battles we give every day in our lives, in order to face our problems, are battles we just have to give, because that's what life is about. A must see!

"Fearless" is a powerful movie. From the terrifying crash sequence to Jeff Bridges walk on a roof top and his physics lesson for the benefit of Rosie Perez, "Fearless" owes its considerable emotional impact to the Rafael Yglesias novel of the same name. No surprise since Yglesias wrote the screenplay.What I found surprising is that Yglesias did not receive even a nomination for the screenplay. "Schindler's List" won, but I still ask, how did "Fearless" not receive a nomination? Bridges, Isabella Rossellini and Perez brought the script to life with brilliant performances, but the story of "Fearless" is in the story. It is a rare examination of the effect of experience on human behavior and personality, and the courage that a few find in those experiences. Insanity never was so valuable as it is in "Fearless."

After a terrible air disaster, survivor Max Klein emerges a changed person.Unable to connect to his former life or to wife, he feels godlike and immortal.When psychologist Bill Perlman is unable to help, he has Max meet another survivor, Carla Rodrigo, who is racked with grief and guilt since her baby died in the crash....This is one of those movies that had massive plaudits when first released, but vanished without a trace, (you can't even get it on DVD here in the UK).And I ask myself why? It's one of the best films no ones heard of in the nineties, and it may even have a career best performance from Bridges and the rest of the cast.It's a difficult subject matter to deal with, people trying to come to terms with loss, whereas one man, is doing everything in his power to prove everyone that something enigmatic, even sublime, happened to him on the plane.The film would be perfect if it had the same power in the third act, like it did in the first two, but sadly, it runs a little out of steam.The scenes on the plane are very intense and genuinely terrifying, but somewhat peaceful thanks to Bridges calming influence.The film is asking lots of questions throughout, but if you go that little much deeper, rather than look at it at face value, it gets a little lost also (there are some scenes, that are indicating that Bridges is really dead, and in purgatory, which can be confusing at times).But all in all, if you ever come across this movie, you must take some time out to see i, it's an amazing movie with an amazing message, it just loses it's way a little in the last 30 mins.
