If you know Will Smith as the lovable teen in fresh prince of bel air , prepare for a radical change of characters. In this tearjerker mystery he plays morose tax inspector Ben Thomas. Motivated by tragedy in his past, Thomas is executing a secret plan involving a blind customer services rep and a poisonous jellyfish. But when Ben unexpectedly falls in love, his definition of a good deed is dramatically called into question. in this love story Ben is much more than he seems as his real intentions are kept hidden , even from the audience. A life-shattering secret torments Ben Thomas . In order to find redemption, he sets out to change the lives of seven strangers. Over the course of his journey, he meets and falls in love with a cardiac patient named Emily, and in so doing, complicates his mission and changes his life forever. i absolutley adored this film as it combined a love story with ayre of mystery and secret intentions to contort the story line for its finale reveal at the end , this film has so many twists and turns a twizler could be a ruler in comparison. out of all todays suped up rom coms a mystery romance seems out of place yet its so much better, it has all the excitment of an action film but the emotional spectrum far beyond humans comprehension. this film made me think of people differently and made me a better person , it put into perspective what simple good deeds can do and how large the effect could be. Add this one to your bucket list!
