I so wanted to like this movie. Really I did. Usually when Sam Jackson is in a flick and he’s got weird hair – it’s gonna be good (Case in point: “Pulp Fiction” vs. “Deep Blue Sea”). I mean, look at this pedigree:

Director: Doug Lyman
Writer: David S. Goyer
Actors: Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Lane, Rachel Bilson, Michael Rooker

Jesus, how do you screw that up? Oh wait, don’t have a plot. Riiiiiiiiight. Throw in some cool SFX (which are freakin’ awesome BTW) and some excellent actors (who are excellent, BTW – especially Rooker who is way underused) and maybe the audience will look past the open ended plot lines and dead-end back story. Wait, back story? Did I say back story? I meant “back-line” because that’s all it got on screen. “Paladins have been hunting Jumpers since the middle ages,” that’s it. I was waiting for them to explain Jumping is made possible my Midi-chlorians for christ’s sake.

Uugh. I’m sure Jason will love it as he holds a Crank/Jumper love-fest, but oh man. This movie had soooo much potential, maybe Jumper 2 will make it a plausible property.
