Suicide is a sin. But what if you commit suicide for good? Would you still be called as bad person? This is the story of Tim Thomas (Will Smith), used to be an aeronautical engineer. After the accident, he’s life became miserable.
He committed suicidal act to compensate the mistake he did. There are 7 people died because of fatal car accident that includes his fiancée, Sarah Jenson (Robinne Lee). He blamed himself for that incident.
As a result, he searched 7 names that have problems with their health that he believes that they still have a chance to survive and become useful in the society. He tries to help them by giving off his vital organs and his wealth. Tim donates a lung lobe to his brother, Ben (Michael Ealy), an IRS employee. I wondered what is the relationship of Holly Apelgren (Judyann Elder) to Tim? At the end of the story, it was revealed that Tim donated part of his liver to Holly, a child service worker. There was a flashback wherein Tim watched a hockey practice. What’s the relevance? The junior hockey coach, George Ristuccia (Bill Smitrovich), is another receiver of Tim’s kidney. Tim gave up his house and gives it to Connie Tepos (Elpidia Carrillo), who lives with an abusive boyfriend. How does Tim know her? It’s because of Holly. He then moved to a motel and brought with him his pet, jellyfish. Then, Tim donated his bone marrow to a young boy. Tim needs two more people. He meets Ezar Turner (Woody Harrelson). Tim was a rude caller then, tries to provoke Ezar. He wants to know how Ezar handles the situation. But Ezar remain calm and gentle. Ezar also play a piano in public. Tim observed him keenly. He found out this person (Ezar) is worthy to help with. What do you expect on what organ did Tim donates to him? (read at the last part) and the last person whom he helped is Emily Posa (Rosario Dawson), who suffered heart condition and a rare blood type. In order to convince them (Emily, Ezar and Connie) he disguised himself as agent in
I. R. S (United States Department of Treasury), even his name which is supposedly Tim Thomas, he used his brother’s name Ben Thomas and Bens’ credentials. He felt in love with Emily. He did everything to be with her; fixing her printing machine, weeding, walking her Great Dane. After they make love, he rushed to the hospital to check the chances of survival of Emily; he called his best friend Barry Pepper that this is the time to bring on the papers stating his will of donating his organ; he also called Ezar to receive the gift from him and finally he called 911 (which you can see this at the first part of the movie), reports his suicidal act. Then, he puts cubes of iced on a tub; he dipped on it and put his jellyfish, the deadliest creature on earth. As Emily woke up, she was flabbergasted that there is a donor. At the last part of the movie, Ben narrated the incident to Emily. She was deeply hurt of what Tim did. Then, she visited to a recital conducted by Ezar. When they meet Emlily and Ezar, she gazed profoundly to eyes of Ezar. Tearing eyed flaunts. I can’t help myself but also to cry.
Moral Lessons: Never use your cell phone while driving.
Helping people is good, but committing suicide is not.
nice review. i am actually intrigued in this movie. thanks for dropping by eskapo.
I haven’t watched this movie yet, looks interesting and I might cry on this movie
. I rented this movie but I wasn’t able to watch it 
@ dong ho.. thank you for the complement. This is my first time to write something about the movie in the blog.
I really cried at the last part of the movie… thanks for dropping by…
Hi,thank you for the visit.
Happy weekend.
thanks for the visit carlos…
I skipped a lot of paragraphs because I don’t want to know what happens. Will Smith movies always give me a pleasant surprise, and I’m sure this one will. Aside from being a great actor, Mr. Smith also has a penchant for choosing fabulous scripts and storylines. I’ll be watching this soon.
you’re right kat.. thanks for dropping by…

Passing by to say hello.
hi, just dropping by to say happy sunday
thanks for the visit…great to be here.
This looks to be a great film, and it does have a rock solid cast.
Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog!
very nice movie. it gets a bit predictable at the middle part though.
I haven’t watched that movie yet but seems like the moral lessons are words to ponder on. It’s nice to do something good to everyone. But if it causes a negative result to yourself and to other people as well, that is something to think twice. We should learn to value the beauty of life which should be savored to the fullest. However, people still have their own way of how to deal with life.Whatever it takes, you chose it.
thanks for visiting
It was cool that Will made the ultimate sacrifice to prolong Emily’s life and make her healthy again, but at the same time bittersweet because she couldn’t marry him and have kids with him now that he’s dead. Maybe she would marry Woody Harrelson if there was a part 2.
We are the one will take responsibility for whatever consequences we had made. The choice is still ours.
Good morning! Happy Monday my friend!
I am a huge fan of your site and I read it regularly. Keep up the great work!
Hello guys, I am interested in learning how to play an instrument. I quite fancy learning the saxaphone, keyboard or guitar. I know that I will have to have lessons but I want to start off with some software or books to get the basics. Can someone point in the right direction where I can find some sound advice.
