Seven Pounds is a Heavy Weight.
Bitter sweet romance.
I’m not predicting of an Oscar, but I won’t be surprise if they do receive a nomination here and there.
It’s simply a great story.
For spoiler sake, I’m going to limit any storyline. While RT only provide a scathing 28%, I adore the fact that the movie is co-produced by Will Smith. With that in mind, it does give out similar vibe and cinematic as The Pursuit of Happiness, which one can appreciate or stay away. Personally, I wasn’t too comfortable in the beginning but got settled in at the end.
The movie reiterated Will Smith’s maturity in mentality and acting. Hancock (one that I haven’t watch) is more like the goofy and playful side of him, while through Seven Pound, The Pursuit of Happiness and I Am Legend you can see a trend. A trend that indicate he is Prince of Bel-Air no more.
Again hopefully not revealing too much, but from my experience, I wasn’t too bright in guessing the storyline and only realize what’s going on 30 minutes from the credit rolling. You may figure it out half-way through, or if you have spent the time to research as your curiosity took the better of you, you may know what’s going on before the start. Whatever it might be, the unrevealing nature of the movie seem to splash its audience with the a refreshing surprise near the end. Guys beware, you might need to do the rub your eyes because you just yawned for like 20 times move.
Oh, and by the way, I think this is a good Christmas movie. Go figure.
