Seven Pounds (2008) 6/10

Starring : Will Smith, Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson
Director : Gabriele Muccino
Running Time : 124 mins

Two years after he causes a car accident which kills seven people, including his fiancée, Tim Thomas (Smith) decides to try to redeem himself by donating various body parts to seven strangers in need of transplants. However, when he meets Emily Posa (Dawson), a woman in need of a heart transplant, he finds himself falling for her and is faced with a very difficult decision.

This isn’t Will Smith’s finest work, and the plot gets so depressing it becomes hard to watch, but the idea of someone trying to rectify their mistakes in such a selfless way is a nice story to hear, even if it ends in possibly the most depressing way imaginable.
