Blu Ray Reviews, From The VaultMuch like The Usual Suspects or The Sixth Sense, Seven Pounds is a really hard movie to review without giving away the storyline. I went into this release having no idea what the plot was and feel that is the best approach. Therefore the majority of this review will focus on the acting, technical aspects and special features rather than the storyline itself. I will say that this film is not a one twist pony (new Bulin-ism!) Most will catch on to Ben’s plan early on and will even get a few of the smaller twists along the way. By the end of the movie however, there are some plot paths and monkey wrenches that will keep everyone guessing and ultimately wondering how everything will play out. The one downfall to these films for me, however, is that once the plot is revealed, you lose the rewatchability factor as there is no suspense on the second viewing.
