I See Where This Movie Was Toned Down (Spoilers)


Hill Harper
Paul Reiser
Luke Wilson

These guys were supposed to represent the villains of the NFL who were trying to keep Dr. Omalu's research from reaching the public. Veteran actor Paul Reiser is normally quirky and likeable on screen but here he was playing an against type bad guy doctor role. It looked like he was doing some great acting but he was barely in the movie. I was disappointed and found his limited screentime to be the most noticeable. Luke Wilson was the NFL Commissioner and was only shown in news footage. Hill Harper, another doctor, barely left his office.

I think the studio was told to tone down the portrayal of the NFL's efforts to stop Omalu in order to appease the League. What do you think?
