Shout the message from the rooftops!

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2016)

The message of this movie needs to be shouted from the rooftops: football is too dangerous a sport for human beings. Is it somehow unpatriotic to say anything bad about football and how brutal and barbaric it can be on the players? People watch human beings pound and smash against each other but don't think what it does to those people being hurt. The story of this brave doctor from Africa is very interesting and it's admirable how he takes on the establishment at great personal cost. It's quite moving to see the damage inflicted on the players and their families.
Will Smith does a good accent and inhabits his character well. He should have been nominated for an Oscar even if it wasn't maybe an Oscar winning performance.
Haven't we evolved from Roman times watching gladiators get killed for fun? Parents think twice about what you are letting your son in for. It's a violent culture that enjoys boxing and football so we shouldn't be surprised that there is so much violence on the streets.
