Dr. Bennet Omalu törvényszéki patológusként dolgozik. A kiváló szakember különös felfedezést tesz egy visszavonult híres amerikai focista boncolásakor. Az elvégzett vizsgálatok megdöbbentő agyi elváltozásokat mutatnak a sportolónál. Dr. Omalu arra a következtetésre jut, hogy a sportpályafutása során szerzett rengeteg ütközés károsította az agyát. Az amerikai fociliga nagyhatalmú vezetői természetesen tagadják ezt, az orvosnak keményen meg kell küzdenie az igazáért. Igaz történet alapján. (HBO Europe)

American football a little differently? Why not, especially when Will Smith is so good at playing an antisocial and cutely African babbling doctor who wants to take on the empire and the money machine with the power of will. No need to address the veracity of the data and the figures, the message is clear, likeable and, even if not as dramatic in the end (or in the real world), certainly thought-provoking. The whole thing is presented for the viewer in a clear, concise manner and without unnecessary mind-numbing technicalities. The ending is rather reprehensible, but the dramatic line is solid. More or less a film about the lead actor on which it stands and falls, but it succeeds admirably.

After three years, I finally lived to see a Will Smithʼs role that makes sense and, at the same time, is very interesting. The neurotic Bennet Omalu actually had a very interesting life in the United States, and the fact that producer Ridley Scott entrusted his money to the young and promising director Peter Landesman also says something. What can I say, I was very curious. And that was despite the fact that American football isn’t my favorite sport. In the end, I was surprised that the movie wasn’t so much about the sport but rather about one treacherous disease caused by the said sport. Really, hats off for the fact that the creators didn’t have a problem with smearing the name of the whole NFL, and on top of that also that of the FBI. It’s not common for the viewer to see this in an American movie. It really isn’t.

Will Smith once again proves that he can be a great actor and doesn't have to only play in mainstream blockbusters. This film doesn't have a proper ending, it kind of gets lost, and the main point is then stated in the final credits, but it is still a very well-made insight into how capitalism actually works. Yes, the few dead bodies don't matter because we support charity and help others. In the end, which idiot would allow themselves to be beaten with a stick like this?
