Watch Concussion For Free

A different way of telling a story

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Blistering performances.

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.

I was pleasantly surprised by this film. At first it took a little getting used to will smith accent but after a while you don't notice it.It really makes you think about damages that can happen that until i watched this film i had no idea about. I am glad that i watched this film because it gives you something to think about. When you hear of sports stars acting out of charactor i am always going to think of this film. Great film

As soon as I saw that Scott Free was involved with this picture I was intrigued. Ridley Scott is a Producer on this picture and he has a very high track record of hits behind him as producer and director. He did not direct this one. This film follows the true story of Dr. Bennet Omalu, a Nigerian forensic neuropathologist working as as coroner in Pittsburgh who discovers brain damage from head injuries due to professional football. The story tracks Omalu's issues when this all comes to light and his battle with the NFL. Will Smith is once again fantastic in the role of Omalu and his Nigerian accent is bang on and never falters as many actors do when using an accent that is different from their own. Albert Brooks did a great job as Omalu's boss and brings his unique comic wit to the role. Alex Baldwin is another standout as Dr. Julian Bailes who helps Omalu fight the NFL and get the word out about this injury. I highly recommend this film.

A splendid, uplifting movie, focusing on the scientific intelligence and courage of Dr Omalu, who discovered the effects of concussion on football players, which was named CTE. Will Smith does a great job as the doctor, as enjoyable as his performance in The Pursuit of Happiness.The actress who plays his wife is also excellent. When he wavers in facing the forces trying to silence him, she reminds him his name is Omalu Onyemalukwube: "if you know, you must come forth and speak."Supporting actors, including Alec Baldwin, do a good job as well. Highly recommended, and a topic that every parent should be aware of.
