Bump, this is on Starz now and I've caught it a couple of times.
Let's get this out of the way first: Luke Wilson as Goodell?...lolwtf. It didn't weigh the film down, though because they pretty much let him skate with a few lines.
Aside from that and Baldwin's in & out Louisianna accent, this was a solid movie and some of Smith's best work. Pace-wise it kind of simmered along like Moneyball to me. The Pittsburgh setting and Newton-Howard's score were on point, and David Morse's short appearance as Mike Webster was heartbreaking.
I had no idea what to expect going in and enjoyed it despite a couple shortcomings.

I didn't find the rest of the movie any good at all. For one, they sold out and altered the script to reduce the antagonism of the NFL and treated the league with kid gloves. So what we got was a watered down whistleblower story.
Why is Will Smith playing a Nigerian doctor using a shitty Indian accent?
The film was paper thin and didn't really provide any more info than a 10 minute perusal of wikipedia would give you.
It was just weak all around.
