Sideways super heroes

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2009)

Hancock is a VERY different take on the super hero concept. Hancock is a mysterious and unhappy man with super powers. When he gets involved in apprehending criminals, he often causes more damage and problems than he solves.
A PR man, whose life he saves, takes Hancock under his wing to help him become a responsible hero, but there are more surprises on the way.
This is a thoughtful and very unique superhero film, and also in most respects very cool. It goes in directions you'll never expect, but not at the expense of leaving glaring plot holes. Will Smith gives his normal top notch performance, and the supporting cast is great.
Laughs, thrills, surprises, and an interesting story. What more do you want from a movie?
