Will Smith's terrible accent is laughable and makes you embarrassed by proxy not to mention that the entire narrative is well known by pretty much everyone. No point to watch.

It might just be the fact that I don't like football, but to me, Concussion is just a boring and long film. To be honest, I was more interested in when the movie was ending than the actual movie itself.

Absolutely dreadful film, no one involved in this train wreck should work again let alone be talking about the Oscars. The NFL concussion issue could be an excellent movie if it stuck to the facts. Instead we got a Will Smith vehicle that does not work as either an entertaining movie or a factual piece. I'll be carrying out my own boycott in future.… Expand

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. In fact, Cinemark refunded my money for the three tickets I purchased, as me and my sons all agreed it was a horrible film and we left after about 45 minutes. What a sad effort to addressThis was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. In fact, Cinemark refunded my money for the three tickets I purchased, as me and my sons all agreed it was a horrible film and we left after about 45 minutes. What a sad effort to address and inform people on such an important topic. It makes Gigli look like an Oscar winning movie.… Expand
