Hancock (2008)

“Hancock” is a unique and genre-blending superhero film, combining elements of action, comedy and drama to explore the complexities of power and responsibility. Directed by Peter Berg, the film tells the story of John Hancock, played by Will Smith, a reluctant superhero who struggles to find his place in a world that both reveres and rejects him. .
Berg’s direction is marked by a willingness to subvert traditional superhero tropes, bringing a fresh and unique approach to the genre. Smith’s performance is outstanding, as he easily navigates Hancock’s transformation from a drunken and reckless hero to a more introspective and self-aware individual. The film’s supporting cast, including Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman, provide strong support for Smith’s character, adding depth and nuance to the story. While the film’s tonal shifts can be uneven at times, “Hancock” ultimately succeeds in delivering an entertaining and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, encapsulated in the cover of a superhero story.
