Plot: Will Smith texts while driving, and so gets in a car crash that kills seven people, including his fiancée. To amend for this, he decides to improve the lives of seven strangers who have serious problems like, say, blindness. He does this by killing himself and leaving his body parts to these people. That's basically the story, though it's told out of chronological order so we only really understand what's going on at the movie's end.Opinion: Many reviews here have called this film immoral, for not condemning and maybe even endorsing suicide. Personally I didn't find that offensive. The character sacrifices his life to make the lives of others better. This is not a bad thing, and indeed many men go to war with this idea in mind. What I did find hard to bear, however, was the overall tone of the film. It was very slow, sad, and with lots and lots of unnecessary background music. It seemed to be trying too hard to be "dramatic", with lots of yelling and crying and such. Actually gave me a headache. Were I the editor, I would have removed all the background music and cut the film length in half. This whole story can easily be told in an hour, or even less time.Overall rating: thumbs down

Seven Pound is an amazing movie. Will Smith played a really strong character who had a mighty heart who thinks about the others.. who always ready to sacrifice his own self in order to get someone out of the trouble. Its really touchy movie which can make you sad. We usually live for ourselves and for that purpose we can go far as much as we can. but there are very few people who sacrifices whatever they have for others and they can go as much as they can to help others. They are who give others importance more than their own self. They are the real people and really hard to find in this cruel world... But the character in this movie is proved to be a unique character.
