Concussion brings to light the horrors of football injuries. The movie is based on a true story in which pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu (Will Smith) discovers the prevalence of concussions and other brain injuries in the NFL and how horrible the symptoms truly are.
The doctor reveals how terrible concussions are and how the NFL has kept them hidden from the outside world. When the doctor tries to expose the NFL and the dangers of football, the league denies all of his claims, stating that he has no facts backing his accusations.
The trailer prepares you for an emotionally supercharged movie that is expected to be full of dramatic moments that not only informs you of the tragedies and prevalence of concussions in the NFL, but helps you understand the atrocities of the diseases.
The power of the NFL is also going to be exposed. They attempt to bribe him, threaten him and scare him into retracting his claims.
As always with Smith the movie can be expected to be above average. It will be a change from Smith’s usual roles in action movies into a much more serious film overall.
