ok seriously people the title is not very hard to figure out. To the best of my ability I think the title means pounds of flesh..you know retribution, Merchant of Venice like, and the seven means the number of pounds of flesh. He accidently killed seven people therefore must give seven things (aka pounds of his flesh) in retribution. See the movie and it might make better sense. I really liked this movie, while sad, it does reach you. Will Smith makes his character come alive. Just make sure you're not in a depressed mood when you go see it.
