Seven pounds

Everyone has a secret, you don't wanna know everything

Ben Thomas (Will Smith) kills himself and before doing so calls the ambulance to announce it. The movie follows the story how and why he would do that. As an IRS agent he knocks on doors to collect open bills but when he knocks at Emily's door his life takes a big turn once again. Talking of changes he also helps a lot of other people, seven to be accurate. Because Ben has a secret he won't talk about to nobody for a while and he wants to make up for it, person by person, piece by piece to just disappear in the end.

This is, I must say, a really sad romance movie, it will even make people who hate to cry in over dramatic hollywood movies sob a bit. But probably it's the uber-dramatic music and not just the story. But the story is nice however, even though it has a few moments of silent thinking. You really wanna follow this story. It is probably one of the best movies I've seen in a while and I am really not a romance fan.

I am one of those, by the way, who think Will Smith is basically a totally overrated actor. He is good but he is ... well always the same. But maybe that's just me so I still give out a plus to the cast. With Michael Ealy, Barry Pepper and Rosario Dawson.
