Anticipation (Before Trailer): 65/100
Anticipation (After Trailer): 70/100
Begrudgingly, the trailers for Concussion are winning me over. There’s still a little too much NFL in the preview with logos and the feeling of there being “express written consent” of the league that owns a day of a week (and a night and Thanksgiving and a day in late January/February and rents Thursdays sometimes).
If anything Will Smith’s performance looks like it could be one of his best and the scenes of Pittsburgh in the preview capture the picturesque cityscapes of the Steel city. Looks like Christmas is the release date for Concussion.
