seven pound star will smith a ben thomas and an irs collection agent who have an ulterior motive for meet those who have get behind on their tax payment . thomas cause the death of seven people whilst drive talk on his phone and the movie follow his attempt to try and atone for his and quite frankly and unforgivable crime . the story line be as subtle a a brick through a green house window . what you see be exactly what be happen even the end of titanic be more surprising when compare to seven pound . there be absolutely no twist whatsoever and there be never any confusion or doubt a to what be happen . normally i only like will smith when be in full bad boy mode . the guy be at his best when sport a gun and drive a ford gt and say aw hell nah a whenever he try to act serious it only come across a a pathetic attempt at try to gain an oscar which he be so obviously be desperate for . this be probably the main reason why i wasn not look forward to the movie and although here he be very understated . there be flash of comedy but they be subtle and in fact it be the most understated will smith performance i have ever see and for that reason alone he be fantastic and ironically should be nominate for a major award . the support cast be all grand too rosario dawson look pretty much at death door the whole film and woody harrelson and barry pepper be fine a where all the other bit player . overall it be a weepy but it isn not throw all the usual clichés and sentimental violin to give you no other choice but to cry . there be a few time that even my hardened heart nearly break . you will be hard press not to find one of the situation that do not relate to your own life which make it seem all the more real . i would give it positive . the will smith show move onto drama without all the desperation of the pursuit of happiness and come of all the good for it .
