THERE ARE HEROES...
THERE ARE SUPER HEROES..
AND THEN THERE'S HANCOK.
Hancock, a superhero that spends a healthy chunk of his day rescuing people from burning buildings, crazed bank robbers, accidents and so on. Unlike your conventional superhero who more often than not bends over backward for the masses, Hancock has certain anger management issues and he pretty much does things his way, no matter what the outcome.
To make matters worse he's got a drinking problem so it's no surprise that he isn't extremely popular with the denizens of Los Angeles; in fact they pretty much hate his guts.
To improve his public image we have PR executive, Ray Embrey played by Arrested Development's Jason Bateman who along with his idyllic family coaxes Hancock to mend his ways. As expected, Hancock turns over a new leaf through the course of the film, people start loving him unconditionally and everyone loves happily ever after again.
The movie starts off with a bang as we're introduced via an awesome chase sequence to a superhero who like all of us petty mortals suffers from mood swings and the occasional hangover.
Hancock's heart is in the right place but the copious amounts of alcohol flowing through his veins make him a Bull in a China shop…only it's not an actual shop but the city of LA we're talking about here.
