Drama: Seven Pounds 2008


This is a movie about a man who, after the sudden accidental death of his wife, decides that it is his duty to help as many people as he can, before he commits suicide. In the process he begins a romantic relationship with one of the people he has decided to help.


Grade: B-


This was a somewhat confusing movie to fallow, with a lot of flash back scenes and slightly vague dialogue, in order to achieve the completely predictable "unexpected" ending. As usual, Will Smith gives a wonderful performance, and so does Rosario Dawson. The acting is definitely good enough to allow overlooking the muddied story line. I thought it was pretty good, and had some very "tear jerker" moments. If you're in the mood to watch something that leaves you feeling slightly depressed, this is the movie for you.
