THEY SAY
A teenager from an abusive household (Christensen)
discovers he can teleport from one place to another. He uses this ability
to search for the man he believes is responsible for the death of his
mother, drawing the attention of the NSA, and another kid with the same
power. Based on the Steven Gould novel.
WE SAY
Scripted by Blade scribe David Goyer, Jumper
may star the wooden Christensen (Young Darth Vader from the
Star Wars
prequels), but it’s also got bad ass Samuel L. Jackson – so it can’t be
all bad, right?
Anyway, Jumper promises to be a sci-fi Jason Bourne-style actioner (Liman directed the first
Bourne Identity movie).
