Well, maybe it was, in the classical sense: a basically good guy has a fatal flaw that causes his downfall.

Yeah, if his flaw was “driving like a dumbass.” I don’t mean to be a smart alec to you, and I appreciate your reasoned response, but pot *and *alcohol *and *no seat belt *and *talking on a phone *and *speeding in a construction zone *and *arranging to do more drinking?

In a classical sense a *hero *has a tragic flaw that proves his undoing. Hancock was no hero. He just a Joe Schmoe who thought that laws, and the rules of common sense, did not apply to him. I don’t see how this makes him a “basically good guy.” Sure, he may have done good things in his life, but I am going to hazard a guess that this was not he first time for him to drive in such a way as to endanger everyone else on the road. If true, that makes him a bad guy in my book.

Fair enough. I meant besides that—but that might be like saying, “Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?”
