Great acting by Will Smith

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2016)

I was interested in this movie after seeing the Frontline documentary, "League of Denial" which focused on the concussion issue in the NFL. After seeing the trailer and hearing Will Smith's portrayal of Dr. Omalu, I was determined to see the film. The way he perfected Omalu's dialect was quite impressive, and is perhaps the greatest part of the movie. I gave the film a 7 out of 10 because I was expecting a heavier focus on CTE itself. I though there was too much about Omalu's background. Maybe that is because I have already seen the CTE documentary and was expecting something similar. Overall, this movie was great, just not what I was expecting.
