A powerful film, but a flawed film

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2016)

Concussion was a film I was surprised a bit by how much I really enjoyed it overall. It was excellent and had a lot of really enjoyable moments in it.
However the film doesn't go as dark as it should and instead fills itself up with this love story that takes away from the powerful message that the film was trying to convey and instead gets you to invested in the love story that is being shown on the film's screen right now. Along with all the grotesque imagery.
This is a film that tries to hook you through the amazing acting of Will Smith. Who does a great job in the film undoubtedly.
But the brunt of both the love and the hate need to go to Peter Landesman who seems to be doing a lot of true story films as of late as he tries to make a emotional impact on the eyes of the viewers right now.
Overall Concussion is a film that you should defiantly catch at some point and then figure out your own opinions about it.
