A head injury for the NFL

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2015)

This movie was very well acted. Will Smith does give a really good performance, which wasn't his best but he a notable performance. This movie wants to be a "whistler blower" movie. It gives you some interesting information to the non die hard NFL fan. This movie drives home a point, I think most people already know" Getting hit in the head is bad for your health". I think this movie might make want to think twice about letting your kids play football. On a professional football level it is now common knowledge that it is dangerous. This movie didn't change my opinion of football or the NFL. The NFL is not the boogie man, they offer entertainment and the people who play in the NFL are risking their minds and limbs to provide this entertainment. It is a violent sport but we don't need to change our beloved sport or let lawyers ruin our favorite American Sport because there is opportunity to sue and get money for people who knew that played a violent sport but made the choice to play. Mike Websters story is very sad but he made the decision to abuse his body and could of walked away like Chris Borland of the 49ers did in 2014 after only 1 season. This topic would be better served as a documentary than a Hollywood movie.
