The film focuses on a forensic pathologist and neuropathologist, Dr. Bennet Omalu played by Will Smith, who discovers Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in the brains of two NFL players, which later leads them to suicides.

Based on a true story.

Looks dreadfully boring and underwhelming. Guaranteed to lose money at the box office and beyond. People care about the health and well being of people who they love or can relate to. Millionaire athletes don't fit the description for most.

I saw the preview today in the theatre. I think this movie looks horrible but it'll likely get Will Smith another shot at an Oscar maybe even a win this time. Academy award folks love those kind of movies.

Movie looks good to me, wouldn't doubt it if some awards goes out to the entire cast and crew. This seems like the type of movie that at the end I will have found out or learned something new about the NFL. That just shows how much I love football, I want to know everything about it.

So I guess you didn't like "After Earth?" Neither did he:

 Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film one star out of five, calling it "another uncompromisingly terrible film ... featuring a triple-whammy of abysmal acting, directing and story" and saying that Jaden Smith "plays the role throughout with a face like a smacked bum" and "Kitai [Jaden Smith's character] must be like his dad: show no fear. Or any emotion. Or any acting talent of any sort."[67]

This years "The Gambler" coming to a theatre near you...

At the time it comes out, we're looking forward to the playoffs. This had a better shot of people seeing it next weekend. It bombs. Anybody that cares about this story already knows it from the real guy in the ESPN documentary, why do we need to see this?
