It was a really good movie about sport! I love the story, although I am not a football fan (American or European). It was well presented with some interesting facts. I loved all of the characters and the actors delivered one of the best performances of their career, especially Will Smith (his role wasn't Oscar-worthy).
I loved how the usual conflict between science, money and safety was explored.
Recommend to everyone!

It´s the same as with the banks - they knew what was going on and they couldn´t care less. Because they made money and lot´s of it.

Great movie, very much worth watching wether you´re a fan or not.

I think one of the measures of a really good movie is when you forget that the very recognizable star become unrecognizable as him(her)self and becomes the character. Really excellent acting by Will Smith. Really intriguing story. Very sad that we haven't learned this lesson and society still doesn't treat brain injury by concussion even as remotely seriously as it should.

The story is a story that needed to be told and this movies tells it Ok.
Though I believe that Will Smith is not the perfect cast for the role, he does Ok. He thus regularly losses and then finds again his African accent and does not always feel believable as the ambitious but submissive immigrant.
The movie does also illustrate a typical case of corruption and capitalism over people in the American everyday system, be it in sports, healthcare or politics.
A good movie, even if not perfect.
