This is more about the script and the direction, the editing and the noble cast that provides something of a foil to Hancock's overstated pathos. Sure the man died and his last years fuelled by drink and depression. That we feel sorry for him, is a given, but to use that sympathy to increase this film to 10/10 is naive - like the unfunny situation comedy this tried to be. Great though to see amazing actors about him. The spiv, Sir Charles, is more remarkable as the opportunistic expert trying to work a trick and disadvantage the struggling artists. Some thing to hang over an American's bbq? A million francs, "Good day Sir Charles", good day for Hancock? Non.
