This movie makes me proud to be a Nigerian. In a year in which Nigeria made the headlines globally for the wrong reasons, Concussion has come to salvage some pride for the one time pride of Africa. Now to the acting, I've always been a huge fan of Will Smith and I feel he's one of the most unheralded actors in Hollywood. Will Smith definitely deserved at least an Academy award nomination for his performance in Concussion. His intonation, use of language, craftsmanship, and maturity was phenomenal. We actually get to see a paradigm shift from the 'bad boy' kinda roles to him portraying a role model to global youths at large. I always knew American football had its side effects but I never knew it was this grave. The beautiful thing about Concussion is that it sends a clear message to all athletes, especially football players and boxers to tread cautiously and beware of the side effects involved in sports as a whole. Nothing hits harder than the truth.
