Eye Opening

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2016)

A captivating film with a glimpse into a world I'm unfamiliar with, "Concussion" was a fantastic film. Will Smith does an amazing job transforming himself into Dr. Bennet Omalu, an incredibly smart African doctor who's dream was to come to America. An extremely controversial topic, this film tells the story of Dr. Omalu who courageously stood up to the NFL once he discovered the true damage football does to the human brain. It was amazing to see how far the sports industry would go to protect themselves and their money, rather than care about their players' health. This movie was filled with outstanding performances by the cast and was a truly eye opening film about a topic that should be more heavily discussed.
