Review of One Week (2008) by Bobby H — 02 May 2012

'One Week' poses a simple question: "What would you do if you had just one week to live?".

When the main character in this movie finds out that he has been diagnosed with cancer he goes through the typical stages of depression and finally embarks on a mission to find out what's important to him in life. This movie tackles the idea of the typical individuals situation; the idea that many of us fail to really capture and go after what is important in life and rather we 'settle' and live lives of repetitiveness and routine. Sometimes it takes tragedy or sometimes it's just too late when we finally figure out what we truly want out of life.

For an independent film, I thought this movie was absolute amazing; its plot, visuals, actors, and even the questions posed are all fairly basic yet it reaches out and touches emotional hot-spots that many movies fail to do.

I would recommend this to basically anyone! More particularly anyone who likes those motivational moments where you suddenly feel alive and start questioning what you want to do with your life, what your missing, and perhaps the biggest enlightenment who and what is most important to you.

And it can all be brought on through one simple question tackled by 'Ben Tyler'.

"What would you do, if you just had One Week to live?".
