Review:
Would you buy Will Smith as John Hancock, an amnesiac,
grab-ass, booze-swilling superhero who flies under the
influence and disdains the punk-ass citizens of Los Angeles for
thinking he's a superasshole? Trust me, you will. There also exists
in L.A. a publicist, Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), committed to
making the world a better place. Now, that's pushing it. Director
Peter Berg has a feel for guys who screw up (see Very Bad
Things), and he mines the herky-jerky script for every toxic
glint of macho posturing. It's all hugely entertaining until the
final reel, when the film tries for a tragic dimension it can't
handle. Leave that to The Dark Knight. The actors save the
day. Bateman doesn't make a false move, and a stellar Charlize
Theron springs her own bolts from the blue as Ray's wife....
