Wonderful character development!

Waste of time

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

This contrived, self-important story is sheer hogwash. It is so difficult to donate an organ or to receive one that this is an absolute insult to the brave people who donate and to the families of people waiting for donations. No one would be able to do what this character supposedly does in this movie. There are better records and more medical surveillance of the people involved in donations than most people can imagine, including (obviously) the writer of this script. The first thing physicians would notice is the missing lung tissue. That alone would disqualify someone from giving other tissues while still alive. No doctor is going to take part of a lung AND part of a liver AND a kidney AND bone marrow from one living person. Not possible. The house? Give someone a house in California, even a relative, and they have to pay tax on the actual appraised value of the home upon taking possession. Plus the property tax, etc. Again, zero research into the subject matter. Also...the last scene. I can tell you from personal experience that if you live in any urban area of California 9-1-1 staff is there within just a couple minutes. I mean less than five. So is there time to undress, pour the jellyfish into the water and climb in? Probably not. Plus the cold water would probably at least immobilize the jelly if not kill it. And jelly fish do NOT go after someone and latch on. The sting is passive. The whole movie is a brainless mess thrown together to elicit the biggest boo hoos possible from people who don't know any better.

Hiow did the critics miss the mark so badly with this movie? I don't even watch dramas, but it was on TV and I just casually watched because I like Will Smith. What a great movie. I am having a hard time believing how much I liked it. It just goes to show that "experts" are rarely experts in anything more than title.

Simply great.Did not expect such a movie.Totally new story line and great acting by Will Smith.One of the movies ever.Not to be missed in any case.A highly recommended movie for those who are having tough time in their life.A must watch before you die movie.Gr8 screenplay and acting by all the actors and actresses.

Let me begin by telling you what's remarkably bad about this film: I don't like being kept in the dark about what's happening in a plot line, and this film is guilty of doing that for a very long portion of the movie. So long, in fact, that I paused the film and went to see Wikipedia's plot synopsis. A number of professional reviewers had the same criticism. It is, in my view, the reason this film gets low ratings from many people and reviewers. No, a director doesn't need to lay everything out for the viewer from the beginning, but we need enough information to feel attached to the film.I know that some will dislike the film because of the suicide angle. That doesn't bother me. It's telling a story, not advocating a position.On the positive side, this is one more example (and there are several others) that demonstrate just how good an actor Will Smith is. In the days of "Fresh Prince", I never thought I'd be saying that. But he's a darned good actor, and this is a more serious film for him than some of the more common big box office films he has been in.The film is depressing. Get ready for that.Also of note here is the performance of Rosario Dawson. Excellent portrayal of a young heart victim, and what would have been the love interest if...I'm glad I watched it, but it's too depressing to watch a second time. The sole reason for watching it, in my view, is to enjoy the dramatic performances by Will Smith and Rosario Dawson.
