ANYWHERE. ANYTHING. INSTANTLY.
At the age of 15, David Rice (Hayden Christensen) discovers that he has the supernatural ability to transport himself from one place to another within seconds. The concept tickles the imagination, but the filmmakers are unable to deliver. Those in the film who are ājumpersā donāt do much with their powers apart from visiting landmarks all over the world. Theyāre hunted by a mysterious group of people who want to kill them. The reason remains obscure and that lack of satisfaction mars most ingredients. Still, entertaining on a superficial level.Ā
2008-U.S. 90 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed byĀ Doug Liman. Novel: Steven Gould. Cast: Hayden Christensen (David Rice), Samuel L. Jackson (Roland), Diane Lane (Mary Rice), Jamie Bell, Rachel Bilson, Michael Rooker… Tom Hulce, Kristen Stewart.
