.. how much of it was based in reality though? It's Big Willy's first good movie in a long time...

http://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/concussion/ this link is a pretty good one and shows what was true and what wasn't in the movie. Looks like most of it was true

That's an awesome site. Much appreciated, thanks!

You are welcome. I go to that site often if I see a movie that is based on a true story just to compare it and see how many liberties Hollywood takes in telling that story
