What's it about:

Seven Pounds opens like a jigsaw puzzle, pieces you want to put together to see the bigger picture.

Unfortunately, the end result isn't that flattering. Here, Smith takes on one of the most unconvincing roles of his career a guy connecting the loose ends of his life to make a difference in the lives of others. Doesn't exactly make sense, but in a way that's where the film veers from being a soppy romantic drama to dishing out sermons on how to make the most of this lifetime. Ben (Smith) after losing his loved one in a freak accident decides to devote his life to giving second chances to those struggling with issues in their lives. Adding colour to his life is Emily Posa (Dawson) a cardiac patient who experiences love only to lose it near the end.

What's hot:
Rosario Dawson as Emily is stark and impressive. She commands your attention even in the scenes written for Will Smith. Her portrayal of a woman clinging on to the last spark of hope is touching.
