Seven Pounds Review

Maybe the best way to know someone is to give yourself away to that person.

Watched Seven Pounds this morning and it was definitely heavy, all 3.17514659kgs of it! Self redemption gets the better of the protagonist and Will Smith continues to excel as a dramatic actor in this piece. Rosario Dawson isn't the prettiest girl but her acting as Emily Posa would catapult her to greater and greater roles.

Watching scenes were a delight for me as I am a fan of non-linear storytelling. This style makes you tend to forget previous happenings that could be relevant later but Seven Pounds was concise and cohesive. As each piece finds its matches, emotions shift and strengthen. You may not understand at first why things are but shots grip you to slowly consume as they slowly feed your curiosity.

Start with a light heart and you'll end with a heavy one with Seven Pounds. But that isn't necessarily bad.

It won't be appreciated by everyone but as for me, even if I don't agree with how characters should have decided on situations, Seven Pounds is a film that's better than above average.
