Hancock

Will Smith is an alcoholic superhero who has issues coping with his greatness. It's a quirky premise, Smith is great in the role, the writing is solid, and the action is well done. But once we learn more about Charlize Theron's character, the movie loses steam and it goes places I don't think it should go.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but this is the third Peter Berg movie -- other than "Friday Night Lights" and "The Kingdom" -- where I have been pleasantly surprised. It's not a great movie, but it's still better than most of what I've seen this year.
