One of the most touching movies I’ve ever watched. I cried so hard four times and was in pools of tears by the end! The characters were so well portrayed throughout the film. The plot did leave me questioning what on earth is going on for ages, but I trusted that I’d find out soon enough. Obviously you piece together clues and guess what happened which makes it more engaging throughout the movie. IMO the wait was worth the big reveal at the end. Not sure why it was rated so low by critics. I guess maybe some people like to get a linear storyline with answers sooner than later. I don’t think I’ve cried so hard so many times at the end of a movie!

Not the best movie ever made, but the original plot alongside top-notch acting from Smith, Dawson, Pepper, and Harrelson make the movie well worth the watch. Prepare to shed a tear or two.

I don't get why this has such bad reviews from critics?

Critics confuse me. Give them a straight/linear storyline and they say it's boring. Give them a film about rising from ashes (e.g. Pursuit of happiness) and they say it's too cheery/fairy tail tinted. And then the same ones, when they see, a compassionate, realistic portrayal of a man suffering after his momentary lapse of focus while driving leads to a body count of 7 dead and leaves him scarred for life, they it's too convoluted and give it an aggregate rating of 26 on RT! For me, and given I watched the film a full 16 years after it's release, it was a masterpiece, ably supported by a cast who portray the helplessness and the anxiety that life sometimes puts you in, perfectly. Yet, they all have hope. The blind, vegan call center rep for a meat seller, played with the usual excellence Woody Harrelson brings to all his roles, still hopes to impress the waitress at a local eatery with his piano skills; the girl with a terminal heart condition plays a game of what if with her lover, dreaming of more time and children. And the catalyst for all their dreams: Will Smith. In a performance I would rate as more rounded than his Oscar winning gig, he portrays the role of an Uber successful MIT engineer suddenly hit hard by the reality of the aforementioned accident with heart. He demonstrates both the desire for making amends (by literally helping people with his organs), and the agony of what it means for him humanly. After all, isn't that what we all want: a human story with a touch of miracle, a dash of tragedy and an everyday hero, who starts a mission of redemption for a crime no greater than checking his phone for a couple of seconds while driving? Top class!

This movie gave me a sleepless night. If you are squeamish like I am, do not watch it. I know it was supposed to be inspiring, but that didn't happen for me. Before the big reveal, it was just confusing. I kept wondering: What is going on, why am I watching this? Even the love story didn't really engage me.

Amazing performance by Will Smith once again. Movie stayed in my head forever.

Will Smith give a truly moving performance. It makes me cry every time I watch it.

It's a shame that the critics didn't like this film, whereas the audiences, including myself, really enjoyed this film.... Enjoyed might not even be the right word to describe this film. It's a movie that pulls you in from that first scene and then slowly builds up to what I think is a very satisfying and also sad ending and justification for all the actions in the film. This movie is a slow build up, but just trust the process, and don't focus too much on the pure logic aspect of the film. Instead, let it guide you through a plethora of emotions. It almost brought me to tears many times. Critics are saying that the premise of the film is too unrealistic, but the thing with this film is that even though the premise is unrealistic, it pulls you right in. I long to see films like this.

A powerful drama featuring my favorite actor, Will Smith, in a deeply moving role. Smith plays Ben Thomas, a man on a mission to redeem himself by helping seven strangers. The film explores themes of sacrifice and forgiveness, with Smith delivering a compelling and emotional performance.

I hear the sequel is going to be called "One Slap". Sure to be a blockbuster hit!

Was engaging and had me emotionally invested throughout. Thought provoking, unique story and a true masterpiece, wonderfully directed and it all makes sense with a ending that hits the landing to boot. 10/10 !!!

I thought this was also really good, why are people complaining about the plot? I thought it was unique.

I cried after this movie. Like literally went on the front lawn and laid there and cried. Such a touching movie. I can't explain the journey it takes you through; from the passionate work of Will Smith, to his painful burden (which he enacts so very well), to Dawson's inquisitiveness -- the story comes together in pieces in such an effortless way. Right when you might have a question, the answer comes along, in a soft and gentle way. Gentle is an interesting word to describe this movie, but it is somehow accurate. It is very surprising and it has somewhat of a twist ending that you generally don't get from dramas like this. Some movies take you through a journey, some movies tell a story, piece by piece. That can be hard to execute, but this movie does it oh so very well.

This is a fantastic movie the but critics give it low ratings.. They want the movie to be linear and everything to make sense in the right order.. it's a brilliant movie but you have to watch the whole thing to understand it .. it's not sci-fi but I think it borrows all the pieces fit eventually some parts are presented in flashbacks .. till you understand the whole thing and I enjoyed watching it.. I've probably seen it four times because it's such a good movie 🍿

a wonderful movie, it did remind me that i have every thing in life i can see speak walk and even run the list goes on and on , i have taken all of these for granted i really have to appreciate it more, it also showed me how noble it's to be an organ donor it gives you the chance to live after dying to give a life for whom who needs it. its a great movie.

É forte e reflexivo, Will smith salvou o filme, a ideia é boa mas mal desenvolvida e não é possível que os roteiristas não pensaram num final melhor.

Amazing movie!! One of my favorites. It's inspiring, heartbreaking, and moving!!

I really enjoy will Smith, hopefully he will be forgiven and back to making movies.

Great acting, hard to see where the plot is heading. Not a bad film, but not quite sure of the goal or the ideas of the movie. Unorthodox in a strange way.

Don't think I've ever cried as much! Will smith is amazing!! How the reviews are not higher.. critics are wrong on this one! Everyone’s acting is amazing!
