Hancook from Zero to Hero

The movie staring will smith, jason bateman, eddie marsan and Charlize Theron is a movie that starts off well but fizzles out in the end. Yesterday as there was no cell meeting, my wife and I decided to go for a movie and since we have watched most of the good ones, we decided on watching Hancook.

Directed by Peter Berg this movie leaves more questions than answers. It does not give us much answer to why he has all these super powers. I think what i would have liked was some glimpse of how it all began. Maybe this movie was a teaser but without a history of how he came about, it just feels like reading a book from the middle and not understanding the full plot at all.

If you can imagine how you would feel taking a book and reading it from the middle, then you must know how i feel when i went for the movie. I have no clue as to why he was boozy and irresponsible. How he was created, what happen between him and his wife ? This were questions i wanted to know but never got a chance to.

But though the story plot was a little thin, i must admit Will Smith did put in a stellar performance as usual. His presence alone carried the movie and helped breathe some life into the otherwise uninspiring movie. Will Smith i must say have come a long way from the young comedian in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air days into a possible Oscar nominee.

This is a possible great DVD to rent when it does comes out. Wait for it
