A classic and well-grounded movie made with humility and does a great job of nailing the basics. Will Smith produces some phenomenal performances even with very little to work with. However, the film has very perceptible flaws all over. Atmosphere creation and dialogue delivery are average to poor. As a result, a mix of ebb and flow lingers consistently until the credits roll.
Highs: Character writing is good You feel the struggle of the lead very vividly and that's a feat. The supporting act played by a dog is a noticeable technical feat.
Lows: Misses out big time on a more emotional touch in the story. The theme of the movie as a whole feels misty. Overlooks the dramatic side of the plot by some distance; therefore never hits the extra special mark.
Rating: 3.5 ***/*
