What a sleepwalk of a film. Jumper, starring Hayden Christensen of Star Wars fame, is a complete misfire that loses all interest and value after the concept has lost its novelty. Perhaps the only virtue the film has is its short running time – the film barely touches 85 minutes.

Christensen is David, a young man with a very cool ability – teleportation. He can go anywhere he wants in an instant, as long as he has seen it before. Unfortunately he’s not the only one with such abilities, and there are people hunting them (a Da Vinci Code type of cult that has spawned centuries apparently… big yawn). The bad guy is Samuel Jackson, who despite his coolness in other films is completely off track in his role.

And of course David has a love interest, a girl who he claims “it’s always been you… since I was 5″, which he must protect. Very inspiring stuff. I’m sure the trailer is the only thing worth spending your time on for this totally forgettable flick.
