Seven Pounds is a gripping drama that follows the story of Tim Thomas (played by Will Smith), a man who killed his fiancée and six other people in a car accident because he was using his mobile phone.

The story is one of heavy redemption for Thomas, as he tries to contribute to others who are suffering as a sort of compensation for the destruction he has wrought.

Thomas gives his body parts to those that need them, starting out with his brother (to whom he gives a lung lobe), and part of his liver to a child services worker by the name of Holly.

After these initial donations, Thomas seemingly gets a knack for it and begins to seek out “worthy” people for accepting parts from him.

The situation becomes complicated when Thomas falls in love with the final person he is contributing to, a woman named Emily Posa (Rosario Dawson) who has a serious heart condition.

The film has received mixed reviews, on account of its heavy approach and melodramatic storyline.

The acting is generally well praised, but audiences are often left bewildered as to the meaning of the film and the real sentiments of the film’s makers.

The Seven Pounds bluray will have some extra features that could not be seen at the cinema.
