Kinda love this film when i was watching it in the cinema 3 years ago. Very impress by Will Smith's acting in this film. He brought out the loneliness and sadness of this character. And the part when he killed Sam, his expression is well done, bravo!!!

Well, i would say the story is simple yet meaningful. Not too length but just nice. A good movie i should say~
