feature a fascinating performance by will smith and a story that tug at your heartstrings hard than a rock guitarist mid solo and seven pound race past the director previous collaboration with the actor ( the pursuit of happiness ) and a flick which i also love . remember gabriele muccino name because some of his movie may skip by unnoticed if the actor attach to the project isn not quite so high profile . too bad i figure out will smith scheme early on and i put two and two together when he call in his own suicide in the first scene and the scene when rosario dawson character be introduce a have an incurable heart disease . however and i still think the writer or director make the right choice put the bookend ( bookend be the first and the last scene ) in that way and it the source of urgency and tension in the movie and find out gradually how exactly a man can be drive to that ultimate sacrifice and and it be heartbreaking to see the relationship between smith and dawson character flourish and develop and know in the back of the mind always what be in store for these unlucky two . one of my friend with whom i saw the movie think smith character could have a divine gift and and i understand why represent his performance be almost angelic when in the presence of his seven elect one and yet at other time he could be harsh and scary and and when he alone the full weight of his situation get too much for him and he break down completely . it quite a versatile performance . lastly i can not forget to mention the crash scene re enactment and which be really quite stunningly do in term of cinematography pair with music . put this on your list .
