Review of Seven Pounds (2008) by Wahida K — 10 Apr 2011
An emotional movie, it works to keep its secrets. When the tears come, it has earned them.
Lots of Tissues required!
Plot:
Ben Thomas (Will Smith) is a serious, sad-faced stranger who walks into people's lives like some sort of angel. The first piece of the puzzle: Is he the Angel of Death or a guardian angel?
Ben's an IRS agent, so he has access to people's entire lives. He shows up, unannounced, and interviews folks -- interrogates them actually. He's tactless, a little rude. They're in arrears on their taxes, upside down on their mortgages, in failing health or leading lives limited by circumstances beyond their control.
