(Spoilers)Seven Pounds

"Seven Names. Seven Strangers. One Secret."
Once, Tim Thomas was a gifted aerospace engineer with a beautiful wife and a lovely beach house. Then, while using his cell phone while driving, his car wandered across lanes and he became responsible for the deaths of 7 others, including his beloved wife. Unable to forgive himself or raise the dead, Tim sets out to give "pounds of flesh" that will give new life to seven deserving individuals to make up for the seven lives he destroyed. Just as Antonio would have to die to pay Shylock the "pound of flesh" he demands, Tim intends to kill himself to atone for his sins. His brother Ben, who works for the IRS, is deeply concerned about his state of mind. Tim steals his brother's IRS ID to access the IRS database and to find and meet people who he believes worthy of his gifts which includes body organs and material possessions. Holly Apelgren, Ezra Turner, Connie Tepos, and Emily Posa are among those whom he identifies to help. Furthermore, Tim assumes his brother's identity of "Ben Thomas" to personally investigate these people and verify that they are indeed the right people he should help. He has a plan for when he identifies his 7 beneficiaries that requires his best friend Dan to see that his wishes are carried out after he is dead. Tim's plan threatens to unravel when he begins to fall in love with one of the people he is trying to help.

Worth Mentioning Quotes
Why me? Because you're a good man, even when you don't know someone's watching.
In Seven Days, God Created the World. In Seven Seconds I shattered mine!
Hello! I was planning on dying here! Then you'll have to pay in advance!

Review:
This is the type of movie that I would willing pay the outrageous ticket prices at theaters to go and see a second time! It keeps you guessing until the very end, and it carries a strong and recognizable impact, it makes you think twice about your life and the decisions your making. I could never think of some of these things that Smith presents and says in the same manner again. This movie touches your heart in manner that can't and shouldn't be forgotten. I won't ever forget. It is truly heartwarming and leaves you with a since of happiness that will never be lost.
