Anywhere is Possible...Jumper


Imagine being able to go anywhere, anytime. That's what Jumpers do!

What to do on Wednesday, if not to head straight to the nearest GSC or TGV in town...its the special Wednesday half-priced ticket...yeehaaaa....initially, Rambo was our first preference. Due to limited seats left, then Jumper that is...

The synopsis : David Rice is a "Jumper", a teleporter, who can go anywhere, anytime. He can see 20 sunsets in one day, whisk his girlfriend across the world in the blink of an eye and grab millions of dollars in minutes. However, his life takes a sharp turn when he finds himself pursued by a secret organisation sworn to kill Jumpers. Forming an uneasy alliance with another young Jumper, David enters a war that has been raging for thousands of years. Chased around the world, he discovers a stunning truth about his own past and his family. From the American Midwest to the streets of Tokyo and the ruins of Rome, David's global odyssey is the first chapter in an epic adventure.

Samuel L. Jackson did an excellent job in portraying Rowland, the heartless, borderline obsessive warrior who intends to kill every Jumper in existence. However, the one who really stole the show was Jamie Bell. He fitted in nicely as Griffin, the Paladin hunter who wants Roland dead. As for Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson, there seemed to be a lack of chemistry between them, disappointingly enough.


All in all, "Jumper" is a mediocre film, but the action and the scenery are a feast for the eyes.




Tembun fav cast : Rowland (Samuel L Jackson)
