Our take on Jumper

Doug Liman's 2008 science-fiction adventure follows David Rice, a young man who discovers he can teleport instantly to anywhere on Earth. His freewheeling use of the power collides with a hidden war when he learns of others like him and a ruthless group of zealots sworn to hunt down every teleporter. Liman leans into globe-hopping spectacle, using the ability for fast, geography-jumping set pieces. It suits viewers after a brisk high-concept chase movie that prizes movement and gadgetry over deep character work. Expect slick action and a propulsive pace rather than dense mythology; it's built as breezy escapism around an appealing, wish-fulfilling premise.
