Wanted(2008) and Hancock(2008). They are different genre and style. However, they have have something in common. Both of them are unconventional. They tried something new.
Someone may say Hancock is not so new, but Hancock is different from the other heroes who familiar with us.
He has superhuman power, but he is not a perfect hero. He is also different from the heroes who are tormented by mental suffering.
Hancock has physical power, but he is not a hero nor a villain. His intention to catch thiefs does not justify his actions. The citizens blame him and he is sent to jail.
Step by step, he becomes the hero who we are familiar with.
When they say that they are named as heroes, angels or gods, it seems contrived. Except that it's delightful film.
