Jumper

Sci-fi is not my favourite genre, although I am a fan of Doug Liman – particularly his earlier work such as “Swingers” and especially, “Go”. So I wasn’t expecting to enjoy “Jumper” much, and I didn’t. Slow, poorly developed characters, mediocre acting all led to a very disappointing experience. It’s a shame because the basic premis is a good one – the ‘hero’ having super hero powers yet not behaving like one – a point made in a very unsubtle way when David was watching TV towards the beginning. It could have been a much better film. And why can't the camera be held still these days? I can't wait for that particular technique to go out of fashion again!
