Jumper

Director: Doug Liman
Year: 2008
Stars: Hayden Christensen, Jamie Bell, Samuel L. Jackson, Rachel Bilson, Diane Lane

I wanted to see this when it was released at the cinema, but the reviews put me off a little. I got the impression it was a nice idea, but not particularly well executed.

The film follows David Rice (Christensen) as he discovers that he can "jump" from one place to another. With some effort, he learns to jump anywhere - from New York to Egypt, from Egypt to London... However, nothings that simple in the movies and he ends up having to deal with other jumpers, love, and the Palladin (enemies of the jumpers).

This isn't a bad film, but for once the reviewers were right. A nice idea, but not particularly well executed.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5
