One of the better movies from Will Smith

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2017)

I'm not the biggest fan of Will Smith but sometimes he has his moments and in Concussion he definitely has a good moment. It's one of his better movies that I saw. He plays his role as Dr. Bennet Omalu, the immigrant forensic neuropathologist that discovered CTE, a football related brain trauma, very well. The fact that the story is based on a true story makes it even better. And once again we see that the rich people that run the show, like the NFL, are just soulless greedy people only thinking about their interests regardless the health issues of others. It's another scandal like we saw before with the tobacco industry. To win against all those lobbies is almost impossible and you can only applaud people like Dr. Bennet Omalu for trying to make a difference. Not that in the end it will change very much because like you can see people are still smoking or playing American football. Of course everybody has the right to risk their life with things like that but it's just people should be warned what kind of bad things could happen to them. That they continue after the warnings is their business, as long as they don't start whining when it's too late. You were warned and it was up to you to make a good decision. Now as for the movie I thought the cast was really good, with excellent acting from almost the whole cast, with an excellent moving story that had to be told.
