Blu-Ray Review: ‘Seven Pounds’ With Will Smith is Manipulative Melodrama
Submitted by BrianTT on April 2, 2009 - 12:05pm![]() Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – There’s arguably no bigger star on Earth than Will Smith but even the greats need a misfire to bring them crashing to the ground. “Seven Pounds” is a mess, a film of conflicting tones and arguably offensive themes, a movie that moves beyond traditional melodrama in just the first few minutes and keeps flying into the over-the-top stratosphere. The Sony Blu-Ray release is impressive, but the movie itself is not.
