Will Smith stars as an embittered superhero who leaps tall buildings in a single bound while cursing and slugging down bourbon. After he rescues good-hearted PR man Jason Bateman from an oncoming freight train, Bateman offers to return the favor by giving him an image makeover. As popcorn movies go, this is fleet, funny, and even thoughtful: its central question, nicely underplayed by director Peter Berg, is why power and altruism never seem to intersect. With Charlize Theron. PG-13, 92 min. Screening outdoors by DVD projection. By J.R. Jones
