This is a movie review of the movie, Seven Pounds. It’s an older movie that moved me enough that I felt compelled to share.
Seven Pounds (2008) stars Will Smith, Rosario Dawsom and is directed by Gabriele Muccino (The Pursuit of Happyness) and written by Grant Nieporte (8 Simple Rules). It has a runtime of 123 minutes and is rated PG-13.
It starts out in such a compelling fashion that you need to keep watching, need more, to understand what the bloody heck is happening. I say that because for the longest time, we have no clue who or what Ben (Smith) is. We see opening scenes that show us a man filled with angst, wonder and a helful side, all the while, there’s something hinted at that is very dark underneath it all.
That’s the mystery of the film.
