Review of Concussion (2015) by Schroederrock — 10 Mar 2016
"The NFL owns a day of the week". That line epitomizes the greatness and the pitfalls of the NFL. Concussion paints a great picture of the problems players are experiencing, and those that we as fans cheer for: big hits (which mean big problems down the road).
Will Smith turns in a solid performance, maybe Oscar-worthy perhaps, and helps anchor this journey. While the learning of the horrific turbulence that is a concussion makes for a very engaging bit of film.
However, it's the life stories that hold the movie back. Not that they aren't interesting, they just aren't portrayed very well compared to the bigger issues at hand. If you're a fan of football, or you're out for some engaging drama, Concussion is worth a watch.
