An unexpected gem

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2016)

This movie impresses even for an European like myself who does not have the faintest clue about football (Its not played here). However the good acting and interesting subject matter make it a movie well worth watching, even if you do not know the sport.
Will Smith puts on a fine performance and is convincing as Dr. Omalu, the accent however is a little on the fake side and distracts just a tiny bit from his performance, although you do get used to it after a while.
The fight against the NFL to make them see what is wrong with the sport is well done, the NFL is the giant enemy at a distance, always there always willing to destroy the reputation, friends and family of Dr. Omalu without actually resorting to direct violence. Its a nice tactic to keep you on the edge of your seat "what can happen to him or his family" The love interest is also well played though it feels sometimes like its just there to make the movie a little longer than is needed.
All in all this movie was a delight to watch, made me interested about a sport i did not know i had interest in and should be on your to watch list regardless in what place of the world you live in. A real all American movie for everyone in and outside of the USA.
