Thoughts: Seven Pounds

I went into Seven Pounds hoping to be wowed, because, well I like Will Smith and he's due to be in another awesome movie. I wasn't (and this sure isn't "awesome"), but that's not the end of the world. In fact, there are some really good parts in this movie, and both Will Smith and Barry Pepper turned in convincing performances, as well as Rosario Dawson. In the end, I think the biggest faults with this film are the pacing and the editing, which don't really work together to gradually reveal Ben's (Will Smith) motives. I'd suggest this as a date movie, which is good to watch once, then easily forgotten.
