Hancock (2008)

Had it actually bothered to have a beginning, this might have been a fun flick. Unfortunately, the very moment you start to care even the least for the characters, the credits start to roll. So what does that leave us with? A bunch of players who remain bland until the very end, a smattering of action sequences that barely make any visual sense, and jokes that lack the proper setup and context to be genuinely funny. It needs a first act, but instead we just leap right into the thin of things. But even worse is that there really wasn't a lot of potential squandered to begin with. Beyond the most basic premise of a homeless alcoholic with superpowers, the rest is almost all gristle. Past a few clever bits toward the middle, there's pretty much nothing to see here.

4 out of 10.
