Editorial Review:
When Max Klein (Jeff Bridges) finds himself facing imminent death as his plane hurls toward the ground, he finds inner calm and release from fear in his acceptance of his own unavoidable end. His panic erased, he helps other passengers to relax, and when he survives the impact, to escape. What follows is his difficult and complex journey back to emotional and spiritual equilibrium. Along the way he helps Carla (Rosie Perez), a woman smashed by the belief that her infant son's death in the accident was the direct result of her inability to hold him tightly enough, and alienates his wife, Laura (Isabella Rossellini), who tries desperately to understand what he's experiencing. Peter Weir's film is emotionally intense in an absolutely unsentimental way (very rare), and the complexity of the protagonist's experience is refreshing (if you don't mind feeling deeply). The handling of the crash sequences is chilling in an unsensational way, and the directing in general is a triumph of story-serving restraint. Not the usual Hollywood fare, but intensely rewarding for those who are tired of mind candy. --James McGrath

Rating: - I have a widescreen LD why not on dvd?
This is a great film, I have watched this many times and it always benefits from repeated viewings.I consider 'Fearless' along with 'The big Lebowski' and the underated 'Thunderbolt and lightfoot' to be Jeff Bridges finest achievements on film.
After reading some of the reviewer's comments as to weather or not this dvd is in it's correct theatre ratio let me assure you it is not.I have an old Laser disc of this film which still plays perfectly and it states on the back sleeve it is in it's ... Read More
Rating: - Deeply emotional movie...
Jeff Bridges plays the role of a man who travels and lives to tell how his plane... crashed. During the ordeal, Max Klein helps many, assisting a child traveling alone to face the inevitable.
Jeff Bridges plays the role with great conviction, as the man who loses the fear of death and therefore, is able to help others during the minutes prior to the crash, and then, during the aftermath of guilt, fear, and emotional trauma. The plot is of a subject that is rather complex and we see ... Read More
Rating: - Better DVD on the way??
As is true for many of the people who wrote here, for me, seeing FEARLESS in its original, very short-term theatrical release was literally a stunning experience. It is one of those films that one finishes watching, and then walks back out into the sunlight (or the night) almost completely unaware of their surroundings, as you carry the world of the film with you for a long time, and then slowly re-enter your own life. For me, it was a life-changing experience, and ever since it was first released, ... Read More
Rating:  - Widescreen Dilemma
This is a magnificent movie, and it deserves to be seen exactly as it was shown in theaters. Does this disc fit the bill? Yes and no.
Movies that are shot in anamorphic widescreen, usually with a screen ratio greater than 1.85:1 (or approximately 16:9, like a widesceen television), are cropped at the sides, or "panned and scanned" to fit a conventional 4:3 television screen. Most movies (but not all) shown at 1.85:1, such as "Fearless" was in its initial distribution, are not shot "wide." ... Read More
