Leatherheads

 (2008)

Comedy | Drama | Romance | Sport



Dodge Connolly, a charming, brash football hero, is determined to guide his team from bar brawls to packed stadiums. But after the players lose their sponsor and the entire league faces certain collapse, Dodge convinces a college football star to join his ragtag ranks. The captain hopes his latest move will help the struggling sport finally capture the country's attention. Welcome to the team Carter Rutherford, America's favorite son. A golden-boy war hero who single-handedly forced multiple German soldiers to surrender in WWI, Carter has dashing good looks and unparalleled speed on the field. This new champ is almost too good to be true, and Lexie Littleton aims to prove that's the case. A cub journalist playing in the big leagues, Lexie is a spitfire newswoman who suspects there are holes in Carter's war story. But while she digs, the two teammates start to become serious off-field rivals for her fickle affections. As the new game of pro-football becomes less like the freewheeling sport he knew and loved, Dodge must both fight to keep his guys together and to get the girl of his dreams. Finding that love and football have a surprisingly similar playbook, however, he has one maneuver he will save just for the fourth quarter.

Leatherheads Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Leatherheads doesn't fumble on its way to Blu-ray, as it offers viewers a fine looking 1080p, 1.85:1-framed high definition transfer. Colors are excellent throughout the film, and the hint of sepia looks great; it lends to the entire movie an old fashioned look and feel. Also of note is that the filmmakers chose to always shoot the football sequences on a grass field devoid of even a hint of green. It's all tan colored, sometimes caked in mud, and it was definitely the right choice for the tone and spirit of the film; a fertile field of luscious green grass just wouldn't fit in with the look of the movie. Reds stand out as a bit more vibrant than the other colors. Lexie's dress as seen in chapter 5 serves as an excellent example. Detail is absolutely fantastic as well. The leather helmets, the worn jerseys, the caked-on mud, facial detail, the whole nine yards, are all rendered very well on this disc. Look at the vest Bullet wears on the train as he talks to Lexie in chapter 6. It's texture, flow, and detail is remarkable and features lifelike authenticity. One thing I always like to see in high definition are old leather jackets (come on Indy!) and the one Dodge wears looks great. It appears worn yet loved, and couldn't look more real were it hanging in your closet. Black levels are rich and true, too. Some scenes look like they may have undergone a hint of smoothing, noticeable in several close-up shots of actors, though the film retains a great look and strong detail overall. The print exhibits no speckles or other random anomalies. Leatherheads offers a fine high definition transfer, as expected from Universal.

Leatherheads tackles your sound system with its DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The film features an excellent score, courtesy of Randy Newman (Cars). The music practically engulfs the room, as does crowd noise, during a football game at the beginning of the film. If there is one complaint, it's that this opening segment is far too loud at my normal reference volume. It does get more reasonable in volume as the movie progresses, however, and on the whole offers a pleasing experience that isn't quite as active as I expected, but sounds just fine nevertheless. Dialogue reproduction is incredibly strong, coming across as very crisp and precise. The flashback war scene sounds nice, with a heavy rain falling all around the soundstage and gunfire heard subtly in the background. The football scenes don't really offer quite "oomph" as we heard (and felt) in Gridiron Gang, but then again this brand of football was played in a different era with different equipment than what is utilized in Leatherheads. The soundtrack is very good. It won't turn any heads, but it gets the job done well enough.
