Very good movie with an amazing performance from Will Smith

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2016)

Concussion is a movie written and directed by Peter Landesman. It stars Will Smith, Alec Baldwin, Albert Brooks, and David Morse. It is a real life story about Bennet Omalu and his discovery about a disease called CTE and his troubles with both his life and in work. Will smith plays Mr. Omalu, a forensic neuropathologist who dissects bodies and tells information to his chief. The performances in this movie are really good and it mostly comes from Golden Globe nominated actor - Will Smith. He is utterly brilliant as he has an African accent and the actor is American, so it I think it was hard for him to get that accent. The story is really interesting as the more you find out about the disease, the more interest the story becomes, the more curiosity the viewer gets as the plot gets along. The direction and cinematography were actually great and made a great service for this movie, and make the movie a little bit more visually compelling than your average movie. The romance its really forced, and does not really make the movie more romantic in any way, except on the third act (which is good but still flawed). In this movie, await people die very frequent, obviously they have families, but the families are there for the audience to know that you need to care for these characters, but you don't. I'm not saying to NOT care for these people in real life, its just in the movie, they try to put families and friends to this people, but it just comes of kind of odd. In the end, I really enjoyed this movie, it has amazing performances, a good and griping story, but not good enough romance. 8/10
