Jumper (DVD)

Jumper (2008) starring Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Lane, Tom Hulce, Rachel Bilson. Young David Rice (Christensen) discovers that he has the amazing ability to teleport himself, and any objects he is touching, anywhere in the world. At first he uses his powers for purely hedonistic, selfish purposes -- "jumping" into bank vaults, seducing women, reclaiming his high-school crush. But then he finds out that there is a war going on -- that there are other Jumpers, and a group called the Paladins, who hunt down and kill the Jumpers. It's all pretty silly, really, but makes for an amusing couple of hours. Grade: B
