A visually fun movie that, in spite of the fact uses help from the author of the book it's based on, kinda misses the point of the book. The narrative is clumsy but so darn entertaining to look at you can almost forget. Doug Liman is a truely "fun" director. Even at this point he's responsible for some of the most stylish movies. Fun, splashy affairs like _Mr. and Mrs. Smith_, and _The Bourne Identity_.He goes on further to do things like _Edge of Tomorrow_, _Impulse_ and_Chaos Walking_ and as poorly a film as Chaos Walking is, it's not that bad to look at. Visually these are movies that give _Limitless_ a run for it's money. If you ever get a change to read the book that inspired it or the book they wrote to get inspired for the movie or the sequel to the original book. They're a much better narrative.

A great idea becomes just another action movie. The main character David has the ability to transport himself anywhere he wants. The teleportation effect is well done and made me curious to find out just what someone would do with such power. Unfortunately, "Jumper" turns into some battle between "Jumpers" and "Paladins" that has been going on for thousands of years. There is an awful lot of quick cuts and jumpy camera work here (no pun intended), not unlike the Jason Bourne movies. Samuel Jackson's "Roland" character was underdeveloped, too.

Hayden is hot, but this is one of the most obnoxious protagonist I'ave watched. The flashy idea of JUMPING ability is really cool, but the story is really poorly written, especially the storyline between adult David and Millie.

When i go to the movies i want to be entertained, this movie certainly did that!! Check it out and don't forget the popcorn!!!
