Smith shines in 'Hancock'
03/07/2008 - 13:13:28
 Director: Peter Berg
Cast: Will Smith, Jason Bateman, Charlize Theron
It’s all in the image, even when you’re a superhero you gotta project.
So Hancock might be gifted with invincible powers and might go around saving people but he’s also prone to the bottle and to sleeping it off on park benches … badly in need of a makeover.
Smith plays the flawed hero – who discovers his powers after an 80-year coma following a bump on the head – who rescues a go-getting PR man (Bateman) who can help create that better impression.
It’s a fun film in which Smith shines, as always. And it’s good to find that even supermen can fall off the wagon, same as the rest of us.
Star Rating: 4/5
