Will Smith doing great drama!
I have always enjoyed watching movies starring with Will Smith. I think he is a great actor. He can be funny, serious, a hero, the biggest nightmare, you name it. I don't think that I've seen a movie with Will Smith in it that I didn't like. Well, The pursuit of happiness was just ok.
Seven Pounds is powerful movie. I liked the idea of redemption. Ben Thomas (Will Smith) had been in a car accident and seven people died, including his fiancee. Now, he is looking for seven good people that he could help, to give them a second chance. He meets great people like Ezra Turner (Woody Harrelson) and Emily Posa (Rosario Dawson). Emily has has a heart condition. He spends time with her, weeding her garden and watching her dog. He begins to fall in love with her. Can he help her?
I have to say that the movie was hard to follow at first but it was still interesting straight from the beginning. Acting was excellent. I will recommend this movie to everyone.
