Jumper - 3/5 stars



Dir: Doug Liman (Go, Bourne Identity, Mr and Mrs Smith)





This story is machiam Nightcrawler the movie, or Hiro from Heroes goes Solo, but if there is a fight between this 2 and Jumper, Jumper will lose in all categories, its coolness and power. oh man how much this movie disappoints me.

Falling into a frozen river after a school prank, David (Christensen) discovers that he can teleport, or ‘jump’. This gives him a way to leave his miserable life and begin a new playboy existence. That is, until he learns that ‘jumpers’ are targets for a mystery group of religious fanatics.

This movie had so much potential to be good as teleporters are always so cool, Nightcrawler is the standout from X-Men 2, Masi Oka Hiro makes him such a star in the Heroes series even thoug he is such a geek. When you find such a great looking guys especially like Hayden Christenson it definely can't go wrong. The first point of failure is the acting is totally crap from the main leads, Hayden Christenson and Rachel Bilson acting look like some secondary school drama play performance. Even Samuel Lee Jackson who usually you can relied on dosen't seems to belong here, although bring a bit of freshness is Mr "Billy Eilliot" Jamie Bell who brighten slightly this dull movie.

There wasn't much CG to talk about, the dialogue was crap, there wasn't much of a plot only alot of jumping around. There is definely more jumps in this movie then watching a documentary about frogs. But some last half an hour cool fight scenes made up slightly for this movie.

There is talk of a sequel and i already thought of a title. Jumper 2 - Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
