Seven Pounds

When I saw the trailer for this film I thought to myself that it looks like a good film, but the trailer wasn't very clear as to what the film was about. Then I went to see the movie and realized that was the point because the film itself isn't very clear as to what it is about, until about the last twenty minutes of the film. If you are not the type of person that can watch a film and put the pieces together for yourself then you may not enjoy Seven Pounds, I heard some audience complaints, as they were walking out of the theater, wondering what they just saw. I on the other hand got it, and Seven Pounds is a beautifully crafted film. It's one of those films that just captures you until you lose track of time. I cant figure out a way to explain the story without spoiling everything, but if you've seen the trailer than you get the idea. Keep in mind to make a trip to the bathroom before going into the theater, because a trip to the bathroom during the film could leave you completely confused when the characters motives are revealed. It's a rare film that leaves absolutely no plot holes, everything that happens in the film, everything that we see and hear all comes together in the end to tie every lose end and answer every question you asked yourself about the film, even down to the most seemingly meaningless detail. Will Smith turns out a powerful yet subtle performance and the beautiful Rosario Dawson gives what may be her best performance yet and their on-screen chemistry is perfect. That's what I like about Smith he can do a terrible film like Hancock and turn around and do an amazing film like Seven Pounds.
