Just saw the movie last night. Probably the best movie I've ever seen, certainly within the last 10 years.
At first, you don't really get direct hints about what the title is; it wasn't till the movie was over that I only had clues as to what it
could mean. I ended up having to come home and see if there was anything on the net about it, and I found out I was correct in my thinking.
This is the kind of movie I really enjoy. Nothing is too obvious, while some people think "Seven Pounds" was too ambiguous, I thought it was right on, D.A.P. You're having to think about what happened, what might have happened, or what it going to happen. It's like a cat and mouse game, and this movie was great for that. Nothing was a complete giveaway.
I heard a reviewer give it "3.5 Milk Duds out of 4" for his review. I'd go one step further and say 3 and 7/8 Milk Duds out of 4.
About as perfect as a movie gets IMO.
*side note, when looking online to find movie times, I saw two reviews. Talk about contrast! One said "Worst movie of all time. Too boring, didn't understand anything about it, left after 5 minutes." The next review said pretty much what I noted above; "Best movie in a long time." and continued in a fashion similar to mine.
Will Smith really has turned a corner since his days as the Fresh Prince!
