An IRS agent with a fateful secret embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers.

Before starting my review I will note 2 things: 1) To enjoy the movie you have to like Will Smith and 2) You need to suspend reality slightly and go with the probability of the story.

With that said I really enjoyed Seven Pounds. I thought Will Smith gave one of his best performances ever. As the story plays out you try to figure out why he is doing what he does and he really does a great job of capturing the audience. The supporting cast isn't as good, but Rosario Dawson holds her own and puts up a decent performance. I won't spoil any of the story, but in general it is a very sad movie and it touches on some taboo subjects such as suicide.

As mentioned above you do need to suspend your reality slightly with the chain of events because some of things may or may not be possible, but for the sake of the movie I thought they were well put together. Seven Pounds has gotten quite a few bad reviews from critics, but I'd recommend it to anyone because I found a lot of good qualities within the movie.

IMDB Rating: 7.6/10
My Rating: 9/10

I think the better part of the movie is trying to figure out what he his trying to do and the meaning behind the title. Will's acting was "Safe" , nothing outside of the normal characters that he plays. I think Rosario played her part better and kept me more involved in the story...

I really didn't see this as a Really sad movie as most have...but still powerful

Worth watching

why is the movie called 7 pounds

having not seen it i really don't want to know the answer to that one.

Perhaps you should see it to find out? rather than spoil it for yourself

pretty decent movie, just takes its time coming together

I actually looked up the answer to why it is officially called 7 pounds but I will not post it on here because I do not want to spoil it for anyone who has not seen it. I saw the movie and still wasn't very clear why it was called that so I looked it up.

I enjoyed this movie a lot. It could be a tad slow at times but it keeps you interested because everything is not totally clear until the very end. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is thinking about seeing it. 8/10

I really liked this movie. I do not understand why it got some bad reviews.

I liked it alot. I am very rarely disappointed in any movie with Will Smith in it. 8/10

im downloading it now, really looking forward to it.

Another Quality Movie by Will Smith.....

awsome movie saw it once but can't bring myself to see it again.
