Movie ReviewBy: Fat Cat Randy
Teleporting all across the world, robbing banks and dashing to the refrigerator was a clever, high concept idea and this film was truly an awesome flick. It gave me that comic book atmosphere with the possibilities of future realistic heroes and bad guys. Who needs guns when you can teleport and throw buses at your enemy.
David Rice, (Hayden Christen) realizes from an early age he could teleport. After leaving home and years later, he’s wealthy and lives in a cool New York downtown bachelor pad, popping in and out of places around the world, only to realize he’s not alone. Jamie Bell, the punk Jumper introduces himself to David and shows him the other side of the Jumpers life. Millie (Rachel Bilson) his long lost high school love is now a part of the Jumper world.
Jumpers are a race of people that are hunted down by (The Jumper Slayers). Samuel L. Jackson, (Sisqo) the white haired character is the head slayer. Jackson was magnificent in this roll. I couldn’t see another actor playing this roll. The action scenes were filmed from Tokyo to Egypt and were all well executed. Teleporting buses in the fight scenes to removing half of an apartment to escape the danger. Every time someone would teleport, the room shakes, papers fly, and bad things happen. The jump hole stays open for someone else to leap through. The action was definitely there.
Working with a very talented cast and crew, Director, (Doug Liman) gave his audience what they came to the theater to watch, an entertaining action adventure film. He knows how to keep a film interesting. We could see the little things stand out. We’ve seen it before, (The Bourne Identity). Kudos to David Goyer, Simon Kinberg and Jim Uhls for a well scripted screenplay. The entire cast, Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Bell, Katie Boland, Rachel Bilson, Dianne Lane and Teresa Palmer should be very proud of this entertaining film.
