A different kind of superhero
Los Angeles has both a crime fighter and a sullen, alcoholic troublemaker on its hands and they are the same person.  Hancock (Will Smith), endowed with most of the powers usually attributed to Superman, will pitch in to save lives, rescue people, and snuff out freeway gun battles, but his services come with a price.  Whether it be shattered corners of high rise buildings, gutted asphalt, train car pile ups, overturned yachts, or upended automobiles, Hancock's help comes with a lack of regard for the incidental havoc his efforts always cause.  He's cost the city millions of dollars in property damage, he has countless civil suits against him pending, and the average man on the street is sick and tired of his arrogant lack of regard for proper civility.<br /> Hancock's grubby attire suggests homelessness, though he does have digs in a rundown shack in the Hollywood hills.  He drinks too much, is looked down on by children, and appears to be a very unhappy man.<br /> When he saves the life of goodhearted public relations man Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), Ray sees how Hancock is vilified by the very people who would otherwise be thanking him and invites him home for dinner.  Ray's young son takes a liking to the scruffy superhero, but his wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), eyes him suspiciously.  We don't know why, but that will be revealed in the film's second half.<br /> To repay Hancock for saving his life, Ray sets out to do a complete PR makeover for him, coaching him on how to respect property and graciously acknowledge the work of traditional law enforcement, and giving him a sleek, cool-looking outfit to replace his booze-soaked tatters.  He also convinces Hancock to take responsibility for his actions.  Hancock goes along with all of Ray's suggestions, reluctantly at first, and sees his image changing in the eyes of the public.  Collateral damage connected to his crime fighting is eliminated, he becomes a media darling instead of punching bag, and he turns into a mensch.<br /> Smith carries off his role well, shifting from mostly low-key comedy in the first half, with special effects having a field day, to a more introspective performance when we learn more about his origins and why he is what he is.  He plays the awkward, more likable, newly minted superhero like a teenager on a first date:  tentative, unsure of himself, diffident.  This contrasts with Hancock's casual disregard for property early on when he saves the day.  Smith usually exudes charm with that sunny smile of his, but he manages to suppress the charm considerably in the film's early scenes, since we have to see Hancock as the burden to society he's become.  Hancock is not a pleasant fellow, and Smith portrays this effectively.<br /> Theron adds considerable drama to a role that defies cliché.  Far from the charming stay-at-home mom, her Mary is a strong-willed, intelligent woman and a very important ingredient in the plot, not mere window dressing.  The chemistry between Theron and Bateman is strong and you believe them as a happily married couple, and her scenes with Smith are especially touching.<br /> Bateman is a fine actor who has been showcased recently in some varied roles.  He's always in top form and consistently turns in top quality work, whether it`s as the adoptive father in "Juno," the drugged-up lawyer in "Smokin' Aces," or the cornerstone of the dysfunctional Bluth family on TV's "Arrested Developent."  In "Hancock," he's playing a nice guy, but does so as far from the Ward Cleaver mold as possible.  His Ray is thoughtful, principled, and basically decent -- qualities Hancock would do well to emulate -- yet we sense there is a real, passionate man beneath the inherent goodness.<br /> Director Peter Berg has fashioned a neat twist on the superhero movie.  He addresses many of the questions that viewers always ponder in less eccentric superhero films, such as who cleans up the mess once the bad guys have been stopped?  What does the superhero do when he's not superhero-ing?  And why should the public automatically swoon for a man with vast powers if they don't like him?  For those reasons, the film bristles with originality and keeps the viewer involved throughout.  Berg is also successful at presenting a big surprise halfway through that alters the tone of "Hancock" from comedy to a more dramatic mode.<br /> Rated PG-13 for some special-effects violence and mildly impolite language, "Hancock" is a very entertaining film, combining drama, science fiction, and comedy.  Its messages of tolerance and contributing to one's community are refreshing and affirm that good writing can both entertain and leave the viewer with something to think about.
