Hancock

Rotten Tomatoes reports that Hancock has already earned $62.6 million in sales, making it the number one movie beating Wall-E, Wanted, Get Smart, and Kung Fu Panda in this week's box office.

There are heroes. Then there are super heroes. And then there's Hancock. Although he has got a hip leather suit, Hancock is not your typical super hero.



Hancock is a story of an acerbic hero in America who is not regarded by the people because of his negligence in the state's properties and his temper. After the incident where he saved public relations executive Ray Embrey from a train and car accident, he was referred to an alcoholic and anger management facility thereby doing an image makeover for Hancock. More conflicts arise with Mary Embrey, his supposedly estranged wife, and with his past enemies that build up the action packed climax.







My favorite scene in the movie is this. The chemistry of Hancock and Mary was just so good.



Hancock is directed by Peter Berg, and stars Will Smith as John Hancock, Jason Bateman as Ray Embrey, and Charlize Theron as Mary Embrey.
