Storyline

Will Smith stars in Concussion, a dramatic thriller based on the incredible true David vs. Goliath story of American immigrant Dr. Bennet Omalu, the brilliant forensic neuropathologist who made the first discovery of CTE, a football-related brain trauma, in a pro player and fought for the truth to be known. Omalu's emotional quest puts him at dangerous odds with one of the most powerful institutions in the world.

I will pass. It looks very boring. How could this movie be a thriller?

King Rodger must love this...lol.

OverDramatized Hollywood style and just in time for the Oscar nominations.

I don't care about all the drama or thrill part of it. I most interested in the story behind the story and the science behind CTE.

As one who survived a life threatening concussion myself and also as a Scientist, my interest is peaked of anything to do with concussions.

Of course it always cool to see The Burgh and Yinzers in Hollywood movies!

Somehow James Harrison will be fined for this.
