Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Michael Ledo The film centers on Dr. Bennet Omalu (Will Smith) a highly educated Nigerian pathologist working in the city of Pittsburgh. When Mike Webster died young, Omalu performs a full autopsy. He then orders brain slides where he discovers Webster had CTE, a condition where the brains proteins change the brain as Webster cries out, "I'm dyeing in here!" As more football players die young, a case is made that the frequent blows to the head cause the problem, evidence that won't go awayOmalu is an unorthodox pathologist who appears eligible for sainthood. He embellishes everything that is good, while the NFL, not so good. In the end science prevailed, although the problem still exists. It was an interesting film, even though you knew how it ends.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

slightlymad22 Concussion (2015)Plot In A Paragraph: The true story of how Pittsburgh pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu (Smith) uncovered the truth about brain damage in football players who suffer repeated concussions in the course of normal play.The sad thing is, I knew more about the mocking of Will Smith's attempted Nigerian accent, than anything else about the movie. Even him saying "Tell the truuuth" was all I could recall from the trailers. I vaguely knew the plot of the movie and that was it. I missed out on one of the best movies of 2015. Smith delivers a great performance, as does everyone else Alec Baldwin who I have never been a fan of is great, as is Albert Brooks David Morse and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. You don't need to follow American Football to understand what is going on, as I have never watched a full game in my life, let alone played it. The science is all easy to understand as is the frustration and sadness you feel watching this. Concussion is Will Smith's best movie since Seven Pounds, and sadly like that movie, this one did not find an audience either. Concussion grossed $34 million at the domestic box office, to end 2015 as the 75th highest grossing movie of the year.

robert-259-28954 Another "must see" movie that makes you actually THINK. In this world of CGI fantasies, non-stop porno, and never ending sequels, it's good to know that some producers, albeit it too small a number, actually believe that there's still stories out there with actual social impact and importance. This is one such film. I think Will Smith has truly grown as a serious actor over the years, with this as his crowning achievement, in my view. Great performances all around, with a special nod to a superb Albert Brooks in a fantastic supporting role. Great comics often make great serious actors, agreed?

gbkmmaurstad A true story based on Dr. Bennet Omlu (Will Smith), a forensic pathologist in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania whose autopsies on four Pittsburg Steelers in the NFL lead to the discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).Dr. Omlu, is an extremely educated, black man in the U.S. on a work visa. His research findings are not well received on many different levels. When the findings are finally presented to the NFL Player Safety Committee, it is presented by a former team doctor, Dr. Julian Bales, "one of their own," as he states.The time has come when player safety is in the forefront and winning at all costs is no longer accepted.
