This is the story of three gentle persons: Paul Rivers an ailing mathematician lovelessly married to an English émigré, Christina Peck, an upper-middle-class suburban housewife, happily married and mother of two little girls, and Jack Jordan, an ex-convict who has found in his Christian faith the strength to raise a family. They will be brought together by a terrible accident that will change their lives. By the final frame, none of them will be the same as they will learn harsh truths about love, faith, courage, desire and guilt, and how chance can change our worlds irretrievably, forever.

An IMDb Review: One of 03's Best!:
21 Grams is a seamless presentation of life or death. 21 Grams represents the weight we lose when we die, who knows if this is factual but it really doesn't matter. Everyday people thrown into harsh realities leading to death, addiction, and prison. A not so simple story is not easy to lay out to someone reading this review. Paul Rivers (Sean Penn) a College Professor has little time left with an ill heart condition. Christiana Peck(Naomi Watts) is a mother of two and a devoted wife. Her addiction arise when her family is involved in a tragic car accident. Jack Jordan an ex-convict has found the Christan faith but yet again slips and causes the tragic car accident. Three stories weaved perfectly together to make us question in something other than ourselves.

The editing is superior and adds to the dark story. The narrative is buried in interconnected and relevant pieces. For instance we see Paul with Christiana which is followed by a scene with Paul ill in a hospital. This adds an unknown and mystical attribute that would have been lost in a linear story. Viewing the film is like putting together a mental puzzle. If non-linear films are not your type please consider 21 Grams for outstanding performances.

Sean Penn perfectly showcases his ability as a weak, sick, and highly intelligent man. Penn's performance here highly surpassed his work in Mystic River, another one of his great roles. Why Penn did not get a nomination is a mystery to me. Female lead Watts shows the darker side of her spectrum. No longer is she the shrieking and squabbling reporter in the horror film The Ring, but a lady who represents our weakness and suffering. Like a lady Macbeth she pushes for vengeance and shows and scary and powerful women not to mess with. Her connection with Penn is particularly interesting in the way in certain scenes she takes control over him in subtle ways. The audience senses the anguish when she resorts back to drugs. Benicio Del Toro is the character we pity for the most. A man who reformed from his criminal life, but a convict past does not lead to a clean future. His difficulties are laid out when he is fired from a golf club because of his tattoos, in a disheartening scene where he pleads to cover up his tattoos to keep his terrible job as a Caddy. The poor man has two children and a wife to support. We make mistakes, life is imperfect, Benicio represents this to the fullest..

Without a doubt one of the best of 2003 for its gritty performances and look, a sharp screenplay, and excellent overall direction by Mexican Director, Alejandro González Iñárritu. (Nominated for 2 Academy awards including Best Actress: Naomi Watts and Best Supporting Actor: Benicio Del Toro) 10/10
