Second American film by Gabriele Muccino (following the success of 'The Pursuit of Happyness') and his second collaboration with American actor Will Smith. 'Seven Pounds' (also starring Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson, Barry Pepper...) is a deliberately tear-jerking film about a man who, guilty of causing the deaths of seven people in a car accident, sets out to save the lives of seven 'good' people by sacrificing his own existence. In my opinion, there are (or at least there could be) more themes to explore and delve into than what appears behind the clearly manifested intention to simply create a romantic drama aimed at box office success. As it turned out to be.
