21 grams (2003)
This is one of those movies which you have no clue to where its going. but with some patience and a liking for Sean Penn (he is a true stud) you realize that every bit falls into place rather perfectly and every scene that looked stupid actually makes sense. Its one of the very few "time skewed" movies (in which multiple time plots are going on at the same time like Pulp Fiction, Memento, Irreversible - movies that experiment with time) which doesn't have a narration, which is very commendable on the directors part to make the story come alive without a constant voice in the head of the protagonist. (except the last scene when we finally hear what Sean Penn is talking inside his head)

Naomi Watts does a very good job and so does Del Toro.
But what I didn't get is the title. Why is it called 21 grams?

And how could I end the review without mentioning heart transplant. (thats why I ask does a heart weigh 21 grams? only??)
Rate - 4/5
