Will Smith stars as Hancock, a down-and-out superhero forced to employ a PR expert, Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), to help repair his image when the public grows weary of all the damage he has inflicted during his life-saving heroics. Ray's idea of imprisoning the antihero to make the world miss him proves successful, but will Hancock stick to his new sense of purpose or slip back into old habits?

User Reviews

  • It started off very promising and the "twist" kind of ruined what the film could have been for me. The movie wasn't bad, it was very entertaining, it just could have been better had they taken it in a different direction. Will Smith was great as always and Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron did a great job in their respective roles.
