Seven Pounds

After making time to go see a movie, we followed some friends’ advice before arriving at the decision to see this movie.

Plot: A man hiding a fateful secret decides to go to extremes to help several individuals who are in great need.

Twist: Having already suffered a great deal, the man’s journey is just beginning.

Memorable Quotes: God created the world in seven days…I destroyed mine in seven seconds.

My Thoughts: I’ve tried to keep things relatively obscure in this review because the unraveling of the plot is what makes the movie. However, this is a tough movie to review without giving too much away. It doesn’t take too long to figure out what is going on in the movie, but there are enough small twists to keep you guessing. In the end very few movies can feel so depressing and simultaneously uplifting at the same time…a definite recipe for tears.

Who Will Like This Movie: If you like multi-tiered plots or real tear jerkers then this one is for you.

Rating: 8 out of 10
