The movie Hancock wants to show us its John Hancock. If only it knew what it was.

Like a confused superhero trying on signature costumes without ever finding one that fits, it takes a stab at comedy, satire, drama, slapstick farce, and action thriller without ever quite finding a comfortable niche. This attempt at a fresh spin on superhero mythology ends up being more of a drunken spin.
