Review: Seven Pounds
While Will Smith has proven to be the most bankable actor in recent years, the specialty drama flicks he produces aren’t exactly the box office hits. At $58 million domestic, Ali could be considered a bomb, and Seven Pounds only performs slightly better (with his actioners easily averaging around $150 million).
So people don’t want to see Will perform well in dramas, but this movie adds a layer of mystery to it, with posters and trailers keeping a tight lid on the story. The story though, proves to be quite easily guessable, and it’s executed in a slow and predictable way. Performance are okay, so as a whole, it’s good, but not overly special.7½.
