" First Viewing Viewing Date: June 5th Via: Netflix Plot: In Pittsburgh, accomplished pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu uncovers the truth about brain damage in football players who suffer repeated concussions in the course of normal play. Rating: 7.8/10 Why Did I Watch It? I noticed this was about to leave Netflix, and it looked solid enough to check out while I have the chance."

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since I have a weak spot for Will Smith, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, even though it turned out to be a decent watch, I can't say I was really blown away by the damned thing. Basically, the main problem with this movie is that the makers tried to convince the viewers that it was dealing with a major discovery but, seriously, you don't need to be a fancy brain surgeon to come to the conclusion that (American) football is a violent and dangerous sport and that many of its players will end up, during or after their career, with some major brain damage. The other supposedly big revelation was that the NFL had been denying these scientific facts for many years or even decades was not surprising at all either.” read more

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- April 2016 (30 movies items)

" DVD- 2hrs. 3min. First Viewing When it sticks to the facts and away from the less-than-stellarly written story, Concussion flourishes. Unfortunately, it often feels as though the film is really pulling it's punches, and never goes as hard as it can. What could've been a searing look at concussion problems plaguing the NFL, and the league's lies to cover it up, is rendered as more of an inspirational story about a good person trying to stand up to a big corporation. It works well in spots, often"
