Vin R : 9/28/2016 8:43 am

Watched it for the first time last night.. can't quite put my finger on it but I felt like they held back on a lot that could've made it much better. Curious to know what others on here thought about it.

Didn't the NFL have editorial rights

was ok...mildly entertaining and interesting but - I couldn't get over Smith's accent the whole time. Just felt forced to me.

I like Will but I would've had a different actor portray Omalu, personally I think Chiwetel Ejiofor would have been perfect

If the NFL had editorial approval on the film

I doubt very much that it would've been made in the first place.

But the Sony hack basically showed the filmmakers made a number of creative decisions so as to not antagonize the NFL needlessly.
