Today I saw a film with Will Smith which was actually very good. It was called Hancock it was about a superhero with problems. Unlike other superhero films I've seen the main character was deeply uneasy about himself. He had problems with alcohol and often children would see him with very few clothes on. Hancock was truly not your average superhero he spent much of his time sleeping on park benches and when there was an emergency he needed to be woken up. Added to that most people did not even really like him. The result was deeply flawed superhero in many ways he was almost an anti-hero.

Then Hancock saves the life of a PR man and on the advice of the PR man he agrees to go to prison for all the criminal damage to Hancock has done. In one scene he throws a basketball be on the perimeter fence he flies out of the prison just to get the ball but causes an alert then goes back.

It later on transpires one of the main character's problems is that he does not even know who he is. Sure enough later on he finds out but us the audience this is unfortunately never fully explained all I will say is that he's not the only one of he's kind and his immortal and guessing at this point that there will be a sequel and I'm fairly sure that there are more than just two of them...

oh an where is he from?
