Great Story That Needed To Be Told

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2016)

It was simply refreshing to see the real life drama of a person who came to America to pursue the American Dream and did not compromise his principles, in spite of adversity and severe persecution. Hopefully, young people will watch this movie and aspire to the same kind of character. The star studded cast did an excellent job in portraying different characters in the cover up of one of the well guarded secrets of professional football. Will Smith, portraying Dr. Omalu, an immigrant to America with a zillion college degrees draws the audience into his search for truth and the steadfast desire to make it known. Even if you don't love football or even watch it, you will love this true to life movie. Great acting + great script + great direction = A Great Movie & you can still enjoy it. You may even know someone that has played football and can come to appreciate how difficult a sport it can be, by watching this movie. We do. My brother-in-law played for the 49ers and as we watched, we knew exactly what all the fuss what about.
