Robert Neville is a secluded man, one driven to the cliffs of human connection. He will likely be in an upcoming Winners And Losers episode. With the exception of Hancock and After Earth, there isn’t a film jumping to mind starring him that brings bitterness. Will Smith isn’t someone who struggles with buy-in, least not in my viewing experience. This film is predicated on one icon front and center and it, for the most part, is wholly reliant on the belief and confidence of that charade. He’s really hamming it up here and I admire his commitment to the cause. Will Smith is a talented performer and has been for a long time. It’s painful and it takes some out of you. These scenes carry a hook with them and you can feel them pierce your heart. Will Smith is quite good and there are more than a few scenes demonstrating depth of character and tactful dialogue. To its credit, I am Legend is much better than I recollect. I recommend going to read that piece as well since you’re here, a transcript which discusses the differences and similarities between novel and screen and which, at the end of the day, serves as the better product.
Hard to believe it’s been that long but here we are. Film for I am Legend over three years ago.
