Not your ordinary superhero.

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2008)

A Peter Berg film. Action packed comedy with fulfilling special effects. And hey, we get a superhero that didn't originate in a comic book. Hancock(Will Smith)is a hard-living, sarcastic hero with super human abilities; maybe misunderstood and real down-and-out with a lack of people skills and out of favor with the public in general and with public officials for lack of property damage control.
Hancock saves a public relations expert, Ray Embrey(Jason Bateman), from being being ran over by a train. Embrey in turn convinces Hancock to agree to an extreme makeover and pull his reputation out of the gutter and make nice with the public. In meeting Embrey's wife(Charlize Theron), Hancock discovers she has similar and even stronger powers than his own. Plus she holds the key to unlock his secret past. Will his popularity rise or will this prove to be his demise?
