Based on Steven Gould's critically acclaimed novel, JUMPER leaps onto the screen courtesy of director Doug Liman. David (Hayden Christiansen, STAR WARS - EPISODE 3 - REVENGE OF THE SITH) has inexplicably been given the power to teleport himself, or jump. He can jump into a bank vault, then to the top of the Sphinx, then back to his luxury Manhattan apartment. But despite all his power, he still misses his childhood love, Millie (Rachel Bilson, THE O.C.). When the opportunity arises, David jets off to Rome with Millie, but it's not all romance in the Italian city. David's unique abilities place him in the middle of a war between the jumpers and the paladins, a secretive group intent on hunting down the teleporters. Led by Roland (Samuel L. Jackson), the paladins track David and fellow jumper Griffin (Jamie Bell) across the world, and Millie may be caught in the crossfire.
JUMPER moves as fast as its teleporting hero, condensing the novel into a slim, action-packed offering. The slick special effects and impressive locations are certainly on par with Liman's previous work in THE BOURNE IDENTITY and MR. AND MRS. SMITH, but JUMPER bears a closer resemblance to comic book adaptations. Like most comic book protagonists with unearthly abilities, David grapples with his newfound talents. But unlike his tights-and-cape-wearing brethren, David doesn't use his ability for the greater good. Instead, it gets him piles of money and, perhaps, the girl he's been dreaming of since he was five years old. Though most action films are driven by the struggle between good and evil, JUMPER interestingly offers up a central character who lies somewhere in the middle.

Great film, I highly recommend you watch!
I love this film, but I don't understand why the DVD has a 15 rating. LOVE FILM has a little more sense and given it a 12 rating, I happily watched this ... read more »
Rachel Bilson's representatives have moved quickly to dismiss a report suggesting the actress and her Jumper co-star Hayden Christensen have ended their on/off romance for good. The actors reunited earlier this year (11) after calling off their engagement last August (10) amid rumours they were struggling to maintain a long-distance relationship. A source has told Us Weekly the romance is over, insisting, "They're done this time..." But Bilson's rep claims the insider is very much mistaken.... Read more
