Reviews

Floated2 Concussion appears to be a serious matter sports drama based upon concussions about the linkage to playing football and brain damage. This is quite the typical sports drama which is based on real events as real people. It is clear that the studios and actors thought this film was Oscar worthy, but it ended up being a failure at that part not receiving any nominations. This film isn't bad but for one it is an acquired taste that many people are not seriously into, and as a result we have seen this film flop at the box office (which isn't a complete surprise).Will Smith's acting is good, as with the rest of the cast but overall it seems somewhat forgettable in the end. There are several intriguing moments in the film but as a whole, nothing in which we have not seen in sports drama's. Recommend but do not set your expectations too high.

tyelder With such a moving story and with a perfect Will Smith performance, this is a film one cannot miss. -TE (12.28.15)

paultayl First I would say an amazing acting role for Will Smith! I love it when actors/actresses who are of one genre switch it up. This reminds me of the great Robin Williams and how he too switched it up he proved how he was such an amazing actor! Who will always be sadly missed and misunderstood!Yes Will Smith has done this before, but never to this degree of acting. He is an amazing actor - period!The story is an amazing true story and makes us realize how fragile our bodies really are, not to mention how limited medical science really is. Yes they have some answers but not even close to all of them. This is why we need to better understand why people do what they do and why!Great movie to Will and all involved! You have done society an invaluable service - we need more movies like this, which entertain and educate us about important issues of life!

huggibear Excellent movie and I would watch it again in a theater, or on a large screen TV instead of on my laptop. Incredibly and emotionally admirable. Will Smith's character is exceptionally beyond acting and it could pass for real. I had not heard of this story until I watched this movie. Apparently this happened a long, long time ago (before I begin watching the NFL games). I was very young then, but I loved watching the game and still do, even though the dangers of the game are so real. I also had not heard of CTE until the most recent Aaron Hernandez ordeal during his time with the New England Patriiots. I am a NE Patriot fan and I truly loved his time with my team. He was an instrumental piece of the NE offense and he was highly admired. What causes us to do things that are so extreme? I'll never understand. But if you don't know about the dangers of playing for the NFL and what the players might go through, this is a must-watch movie to get a better understanding of what CTE is and why it might cause certain outcomes.
