'Hancock' - Film review

7 out of 10

A very unusual super hero story. A flawed, human character who is also anything but human. The whole film hangs on Will Smith and Charlize Theron, but that's fine because they're both great in most things they do. Unfortunately the same can't be said of the bad guys, who are pretty rubbish playing against such big stars.

The film tries to be an interesting story of loss and redemption and almost manages it, but just in case it's not working it makes sure to spend enough time with Will Smith being funny and Charlize Theron as eye candy to keep all sections of the audience happy. Worked for me.
