Alec Baldwin, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Albert Brooks, Luke Wilson, Paul Reiser, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and David Morse round out the supporting players in the movie about the research of Dr. Bennet Omalu that revealed the devastating effect that continues head-to-head blows have on the brain, and of course, on football players who gear up every Sunday to run into each other for hours on end.
