     Jumper
2008  PG-13  SCIENCE FICTION  1h 28min
CAST— Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Lane, Jamie Bell, Rachel Bilson, Michael Rooker, AnnaSophia Robb, Max Thieriot, Tom Hulce, Kristen Stewart
MUSIC— John Powell  DIRECTOR— Doug Liman  BASED ON— Jumper (novel), by Steven Gould

     Around the world in eighty days? Please, this dude can go anywhere, anyplace, anytime he wishes. From lunch atop the Sphinx to traversing the cobblestone alleyways of London, this guy’s done it all. Little does he know that high tech ops teams have pinpointed his location and are lying in wait to capture this “Jumper”, one of many across the world. Samuel L. Jackson heads the operation to track down and destroy all known teleporting Jumpers. So begins an Earth-jumping cat-and-mouse game that honestly, should have been more; if not more thrilling, then at least a bit more fun. Forgettable.
OUR RATING— * ½
