Will Smith wears a forlorn look throughout the film and it doesn't work too great.
Affected by a personal tragedy he is on way to finish himself, but along the way he helps different people by donating his organs to them.
The story is supposed to be moving, but it tends to be contrived. What seems to be missing is key conflict - a man who has given up on the motivation to live is headed only one way, but...nothing comes in-between to a good degree to 'challenge' his beliefs. He keeps progressing successfully, which is a sort of a failure for the film.
