Seven Pounds (2008) Movie Review

Will Smith

I can’t even begin to write how I felt after watching this movie.  The Director of this movie (Gabriele Muccino) and writer (Grant Nieporte) made me see mankind and the type of kindness that people can actually give in a new light.  Do things like this actually happen?  Absolutely beautiful storyline and one I didn’t expect (until the end of course). 

Will Smith NEVER disappoints!! Will Smith plays a depressed IRS agent and his abilities outshine so many actors and the emotion he shows seems so genuine and powerful.  Perfect for this role.  Love you Will Smith :) :)  

Seven Pounds is full of fantastic actors such as Woody Harrelson who plays Ezra Turner, a blind meat representative!   Elpida Carillo, Latin woman abused by her husband.   Rosario Dawson played Emily Posa, great actress to play against Will Smith.  Barry Pepper (who stared in Knockaround Guys with Vin Diesel (fab film), The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, Enemy of the State to name a few) plays a character close to Ben Thomas (Smith).  Judyann Elder played Holly Apelgren she was also in ER, Desperate Housewives (thought she was familiar!), Cold Case and Becker!

I didn’t expect this ending in a million years!!  I won’t give away any spoilers as it would completely ruin the experience for you.  So this review will have no highlights in it.  Best watched with fresh eyes/mind!!!!  Definitely putting this movie on my Christmas DVD wish list :) as it’s a keeper!!  A high ranking 5 out of 5!!!   (She says wiping the tears away :) ).     Think I'm going to watch it once/twice more before returning it :)
