Critic Reviews:

• " Hancock keeps what could have been a leaden behemoth accessible and engaging by drawing a bead on the personalities of the men who've loomed over history books, warts and all. " – Jonathan R. Perry

• " It hits enough true notes to elevate it above the usual patriotic flag waving renditions. " – John A. Nesbit

• " The rare Hollywood epic which prefers to offer facts rather than flag-waving. An excellent movie. " – Phil Hall
