Will Smith, in his more sensitive, tormented, teary, and Oscar-hungry persona, takes his crinkled brow in tight closeups on a cryptic personal mission (“We have a plan. Do what you promised me”), flashing an IRS identity card to gain access to total strangers so as to judge whether or not they are “good,” “worthy,” “deserving.” (The nursing-home administrator may require a bone-marrow transplant for survival, but in spite of his deep debt to Uncle Sam he has splurged on a Beemer: not good.) The aim and outcome of his mission are, for review purposes, Top Secret, but suffice to say that the film combines the bleeding heart of The Pursuit of Happyness — not to mention the director of it, Gabriele Muccino — with the galloping ego of I Am Legend. Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson, Michael Ealy, Barry Pepper. (2008) — Duncan Shepherd
