Had some good suspense and drama that you would expect from Will Smith. Woody Harrelson played his role very well. The writers should have done their research better since they missed the mark on some things and a common theme dragged this down in addition to the infamous Smith slap that ended his career for now that is.

Not your typical Will Smith movie, for sure. I did enjoy this movie, but the subject matter was a bit depressing. I don't think I will watch it again.

As long as I live, I will probably never forget this movie. It was the most confusing (initially), touching, horrifying movie I think I've ever seen. Although it took me a bit of time to get into it, once I did I was completely hooked - to the point where I was no longer sitting down and watching it, but rather standing in front of the television sobbing because I got what he was up to. Count on mixed emotions with this one... you'll be thinking about it for days. You won't, however, regret watching it. I certainly don't.

"Seven Pounds was a film I thought would never peak my interest, boy was I dead wrong! Seven Pounds is an emotional, moving, and thought-provoking film about how one man's personal hell, slowly becomes another person's newfound bliss. Will Smith is a absolutely amazing in this film, a lot of people tend to favor his comedic and action films, but Smith's true talent lies when he quitely suffering, he tells a story with his eyes. Woody Harrelson and Rosario Dawson also exceeded my expectations, very delicate and understated performances. This film has a lot of twists and turns, more of a phsychological drama than anything else. I highly recommend this "jellyfish" of a movie, enjoy!"
