Dreadfully Boring
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Nicely edited, beautifully filmed, almost perfectly casted, rare quite gem of humanity. Allows a likeness to film and imagery, rarely visualized and heard in this day and age of "Hollywood blockbuster". This is perfectly simmered cinema, incorporating a unique soundtrack, that I searched for the next day by the way, placed to every scene, as if no other song could be played, other than the ones played, in any given scene. Almost every human on the planet, can relate to the premise of the film, as it glorifies an emotion, a fear, a feeling, I believe the majority has felt in the course of a lifetime. The slow close ups of beauty and the humanity reign, in this unexpected tale of the heart. Although we see way too much of Will Smith's skin, veins, muscles and facial expressions, it works, especially post pondering and a good nights sleep. It sticks because everyone can relate. Did I mention the impeccable Rosario Dawson? She truly owns this movie and makes it what it is. Could not take my eyes or ears away. Riveting....
Simply great.Did not expect such a movie.Totally new story line and great acting by Will Smith.One of the movies ever.Not to be missed in any case.A highly recommended movie for those who are having tough time in their life.A must watch before you die movie.Gr8 screenplay and acting by all the actors and actresses.
Seven Pound is an amazing movie. Will Smith played a really strong character who had a mighty heart who thinks about the others.. who always ready to sacrifice his own self in order to get someone out of the trouble. Its really touchy movie which can make you sad. We usually live for ourselves and for that purpose we can go far as much as we can. but there are very few people who sacrifices whatever they have for others and they can go as much as they can to help others. They are who give others importance more than their own self. They are the real people and really hard to find in this cruel world... But the character in this movie is proved to be a unique character.
The concept is interesting, but the film lacks emotional complexity. Not terrible, but they missed a good opportunity for a beautiful film ultimately about love. With the exception of Rosario Dawson, the film doesn't have characters with enough depth for the audience to genuinely care about the final outcome of the movie. Will Smith is capable of amazing work, and he has several nice delicate scenes of rage and sadness, but overall is feels like a performance that was Oscar bait. For a movie about grief, love and redemption, there are too many surface level emotions created by an extremely talented group of actors. The director needed to pull more out of his actors for this ending to be worth the journey. Without that emotional depth, the end of the movie almost seems misplaced and unnatural to the rest of the tone throughout, like it's trying too hard to make you feel something instead of actually feeling something.
