Review of Seven Pounds (2008) by Phillip G — 23 Jan 2014

I think what makes this movie so unlikable is the fact that it's just so sad and depressing. Watching a self loathing Will Smith try to hold back tears as he goes about his final mission for an hour and a half got to be a bit much.

Rosario Dawson is very good as the kinda girlfriend with the heart condition, Barry Pepper as the best friend is heartbreaking and Woody Harrelsons charcter although well acted was just confusing. I did like how this made little sense in the beginning though, with random characters, stories and brief flashbacks before it all comes together (others will probably hate this) but I like trying to figure things out.

I found the end scene with the box jellfish in the bathtub very disturbing.02/13 (2).
