Jumper

JumperDirected by Doug Liman, starring Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Jamie Bell and Samuel L. Jackson.

David Rice accidentally found out that he had the ability to transport himself anywhere, anytime. He innocently use the power into his own advantage and without realizing, got into a messy fight between Jumpers--those like him--and those who hunt and kill them.

Meh. It's one of those movies that makes you want to scream "WTF?!" when the end credits roll. It started okay, I guess, and it's always very nice to see Jamie Bell, but when you finished watching it, it kinda felt pointless. Hayden still can't act (okay, maybe he has improved about 1% since the Star Wars days) even though he did look pretty, and Kristen Stewart only got a stupid cameo! Man! The world needs more Kristen Stewart! I know the movie concept is pretty cool, but still, a cool concept of pretty people teleporting isn't good enough.

5.5 / 10. Would probably give a higher mark if the leading actor can be pretty AND also actually act.
