My wife and I went to see it on X-Mas day. Will Smith had another excellent performance. It was a good movie to see with your girl, but not with the guys. It was a different role for him and the love scene for him was uncomfortable because he has not done one before.

If you are looking for a drama and some emotion this movie is for you. It will have you thinking throughout on what is going on.

Personally it's not something I would want to see again. Worth at least one watch.

Acting was great and story was great. You find out pretty much what's going to happen about 30 min. in then you wait for an hour and a half for the climax. I was forcing myself to stay awake and finish it.

The short of it. Great story and acting, but takes too long to get to the point.

It should be out on Blu in a few months. I'd wait. I personally heard negative things about it. It didn't get very good reviews.

Thought it was silly junk. Just my opinion.

i thought it was CRAP. And I own Righteous kill.

I agree that it was a bad apple. If you're looking for a newer movie to watch, you should instead check out either Slumdog Millionaire, Gran Torino, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, or The Wackness. All totally different from one another, but also all great movies.

pretty light actually.

I personally really liked the movie. It had a good and emotional story and some really strong performances by Will Smith, Rosario Dawson, and Woody Harrelson.

I would recommend this movie to anyone that is a fan of Will's movies or likes a good dramatic movie every now and then.

Eh...don't fall for that 'from the writer of THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS' advertising strategy.

it was a good movie.. saw it last weekend cuz Benajmen Button was sold out... settled on 7 pounds... didnt really know what it was about going in, but it ended up being good... id say rent it... i basically figured out everything that was gonna happen less than half way into the movie... its an emotional movie with good acting... ha, towards the end you actually heard about 15 different girls sniffling/crying... my girlfriend being one of them... overall... good flick

I heard Smith was the only thing going for this movie, and thats not enough for me to see it.
