COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Not Bad submitted by markwells on July 12, 2016, 5:26pm This wasn't a bad movie. It just wasn't that good. It seemed something was lacking. I know this is an important subject but to make a good movie you need to spice things up a bit more. Though I wanted to care about the characters I found it difficult to. I just thought this movie could have done more to hold my interest. It lacked much excitement and I got bored. Grade: C.

Well told submitted by steveiew on August 17, 2016, 6:39pm I thought this movie did a great job of portraying non-exciting content in a way that kept me entertained.

concussion submitted by pamhockey25 on August 19, 2016, 4:14pm Dr. Bennet Omalu (Will Smith), a brilliant forsenic pathologist, uncovers the truth about brain damage in professional (and other) football players. The NFL was not pleased with his findings. Fantastic acting. This is a great movie with a strong message.

Good submitted by leenajong on July 22, 2017, 10:27am Well told. there's so much more behind the scene that we do not know.

Good, but not great submitted by Josephin2.718 on August 11, 2018, 8:37am It's a pretty decent movie but sometimes the real world is better. I like that there's finally actual discussions and changes in effect surrounding this issue.

Concussion submitted by lstorc on July 23, 2019, 11:05pm Concussion is an excellent film! Will Smith is superb and the story compelling and accurate!

Concussion submitted by SBNB on July 7, 2021, 1:24pm This was a really good movie. I remembered hearing about football causing brain damage, but I never got into the specifics. This movie told a great story based on true occurrences. Yes, some things were exaggerated to enhance the drama, but it was mostly true and very interesting. I liked this movie a lot more than I expected to.
