For an acquired taste

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2018)

Concussion appears to be a serious matter sports drama based upon concussions about the linkage to playing football and brain damage. This is quite the typical sports drama which is based on real events as real people. It is clear that the studios and actors thought this film was Oscar worthy, but it ended up being a failure at that part not receiving any nominations. This film isn't bad but for one it is an acquired taste that many people are not seriously into, and as a result we have seen this film flop at the box office (which isn't a complete surprise).
Will Smith's acting is good, as with the rest of the cast but overall it seems somewhat forgettable in the end. There are several intriguing moments in the film but as a whole, nothing in which we have not seen in sports drama's. Recommend but do not set your expectations too high.
