The beating heart of the city

Sure, this is a no-nonsense drama with some thrilling qualities about NFL and its impact on head traumas. One man, pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu, is determined to reveal the connection between American football and brain injuries, and the major league ain't too happy. Decent, even flawless in many ways, and somehow reminded me of Michael Mann's brilliant The Insider where one man fought against tobacco companies, but this is nowhere near its intensity. Will Smith's attempt to talk like Nelson Mandela started irritating me more and more as the film grew older.
