Concussion Ratings & Reviews
- Dave3. juli 2025It’s an enjoyable movie with well-written characters and dialogue. The little guy trying to do what’s right against the big corporation is a classic and commonly used story. I’m glad for the impact our good doctor had on the health and well-being of the NFL players. It gives you a sense of hopelessness that only a well-directed film can deliver.
- Mister Arn16. maj 2025The movie was preachy, but I found myself sliding into the story. Will Smith is the master of playing a character that you want to like.
- Hakihiko28. december 2024A Compelling Story of Truth and Resistance "Concussion" is a thought-provoking drama based on the true story of Dr. Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist who discovered the link between brain trauma and the devastating effects it has on NFL players. Directed by Peter Landesman and starring Will Smith in a strong, understated performance as Omalu, the film explores the resistance and cover-up by the NFL in response to the findings. Smith delivers a compelling portrayal of a man driven by a sense of moral responsibility, though the accent and some aspects of the character's personal life are occasionally distracting. The film's pacing can feel uneven, especially when it shifts focus between Omalu's professional struggle and his personal journey. While the subject matter is undeniably important, Concussion sometimes leans too heavily on exposition, which slows down the emotional impact. The film succeeds in raising awareness about a critical issue in sports, and the tension between Omalu and the NFL is engaging, but it doesn't delve deeply enough into the emotional toll the discovery takes on those affected. While powerful, it can feel a bit conventional in its execution. Ultimately, "Concussion" is a solid film with a strong message and a standout performance from Will Smith. Though it may not be groundbreaking in terms of storytelling, its relevance and emotional core make it worth watching. A deserved watch for its important subject matter and solid performances, despite occasional pacing and narrative issues.
