Concussion on DVD & Blu-ray
by manz
The dramatic film ">Concussion is based on the true story of Dr. Bennet Omalu, a brilliant forensic neuropathologist who first discovered CTE, football-related brain trauma, in pro players. He ends up head to head with the NFL fighting for them to admit this is a problem, while players continue to die due to side effects of long term football-related head trauma.
Will Smith wonderfully portrays Omalu with one of his best performances yet, and Alec Baldwin and Albert Brooks offer amazing supporting roles. I’m not so much into football or football films but I really enjoyed the story and the look and feel of this powerful film. It really makes you think of how as humans we can make such a difference in the lives of others. There is also a movie tie-in book with the same title.
