The Lincoln Lawyer Seasons 1-4 Review Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers for Seasons 1 through 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer.

Seven Pounds :: Retrieval of lost spirit

By
Seven Pounds (2008) movie staring Will Smith is a captivating movie.

The title of the movie is reference to Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare where each debt is to be paid in pounds [reference IMDB]. Will Smith plays the tax man who hunts people in need and helps them recover from their problems. One keeps doubting the intentions of tax man and as the movie proceeds each doubt is justified but not in the manner one thinks. The portrayal of an engineer in the movie is typical of Hollywood movies (all knowing smart ass).  The retrieval of lost spirit is the ordeal and odyssey of a cast down man. The best thing about the movie is that it appeals to the emotional, philanthropic and humane feelings. One is engrossed at the sufferings of all members of the cast.
