“Hancock” offers fine performances from the three leads, namely Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman. In fact, Bateman’s comic timing as he plays a character named Ray is very good. When Hancock saves his life after he is stuck in his car on train tracks with an oncoming locomotive, Ray wants to make it up to him. He comes up with a public relations campaign for Hancock, who is not known for his courteous manners.
However, being a superhero as Hancock is, is not easy and especially when he learns a secret which connects him to a past tie with Ray’s wife, Mary.
This film certainly has its comic moments, but it also relies on a running joke which uses bad language, and the strong language prevents us from awarding our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to the picture.
