American Hero Hancock knockoff?

Melvin (Stephen Dorff), a reluctant hero who is far from super, has been suppressing his telekinetic powers for years with drinking, drugs, and women. In the process, he has failed at practically everything, most of all as a parent to his son.

After a brush with death, Melvin decides to use his powers for good and cleans himself up and the streets of New Orleans with the help of his best friend/definitely-not-a-sidekick, Lucille (Eddie Griffin). For a man who can do the impossible, it might be a fight even he can't win.

American Hero is both written and directed by English filmmaker Nick Love, of the films The Sweeney, The Firm and Outlaw previously. For many audiences, the premise seems eerily familiar to the 2008 Will Smith starrer Hancock. The film is slated for release on December 11th.
