Seven Pounds Review – Seven Pounds in which star Will Smith,Rosario Dawson,Woody Harrelson and Barry Pepper hit theaters today.Seven Pounds Review is below.
Metromix Chicago:
The verdict: Is this a practical joke? Without spoiling anything, know that “Seven Pounds” is as monotone and manipulative as movies get, speaking almost completely in vague generalities (“I’ll make sure everything goes as planned”) to string you along until it decides to tell a story. Which it never really does. The script overflows with questionable emotional choices that insult concepts of life, death and love while refusing to analyze guilt and atonement–even stooping to imply that some people deserve to live more than others. Dawson’s performance is the lone bright spot in a film that’s a lie and a tease, and boasts possibly the most ridiculous death scene you’ve seen this decade.
Black Voices:
As good as Smith has been at the plate (box office) with hit after hit, he struck out with this at bat.As shown in the commercials, Ben Thomas (Smith) is an engineer who is still traumatized by a mistake he caused years ago and is looking for redemption. He chooses seven individuals who he feels can help mend his own fences, including a lovely female (Dawson) whom he would eventually fall in love with.
‘Seven Pounds’ A man is confessed to the deaths caused by him. It may not be practicle. Can we guess most of the susides are happening because of mental imbalance. Here also the same but only thing is he paid the confession to the deaths by him by saving seven lifes.
