Movie Review // Jumper (2008)

If you enjoy action/thriller movies, this is a must-see.

David Rice (played by Hayden Christensen), at first glance, seems to be living a normal life, like any one of us. However, he isn't like us. Not by a long shot. We have boundaries; he has none. David is what they call a jumper, meaning he can teleport anywhere he wants whenever he wants with no limitations.

But there are consequences. There are always consequences, as he soon finds out. There is an underground organization, headed by Roland (played by Samuel L. Jackson) that is out to destroy all the jumpers because "only God should have the power to be everywhere at once". Suddenly, David's idealistic life is torn apart and he is forced to fight just for the right to live.

But he isn't the only one tangled in this affair. Before then, David had never met another jumper--but in Rome he comes across the path of Griffin (played by Jamie Bell), a jumper who has been fighting for years to defeat Roland and his followers. David is suddenly forced to join the war effort and team up with Griffin, who is dead set against having a partner, in order to save himself and his loved ones.

Does David have what it takes to outsmart Roland and his followers before they get the chance to harm his girlfriend, Millie (played by Rachel Bilson)? Or will he find out exactly what kind of a toll war takes on a person, jumper or otherwise?
