Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
A genetic anomaly allows David Rice to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between Jumpers and those who have sworn to kill them.
"A movie with a criminal protagonist capable of teleporting to any place in the world he desires is an ambitious concept that should result in a very entertaining science fiction thriller. Unfortunately, this is not the case with 'Jumper', a movie that confirms that Hayden Christensen's regular performances in 'Star Wars' were, in fact, a pattern. At least here we see him reunited with Samuel L. Jackson, and there's good talent involved, such as director Doug Liman ('Mr. and Mrs. Smith'), as well as actors like Diane Lane, Jamie Bell, Rachel Bilson or Michael Rooker. Although the script is weak and leaves many questions unanswered, the action scenes are interesting to watch thanks to the teleportation factor."
