Re: Jumper (2008)

I saw this today. It is very slow to begin with, has a great fast-action chase in the middle, followed by an ending that is rather a let down.

If you saw the trailer, then you can almost guess the story. There are no huge revelations, but I'll place a spoiler here anyway.

Spoiler:Only two Jumpers are seen - Rice and Griffin. Diane Lane is his mother, and she is a Palladin, like Roland, clerics of some kind, who down through the ages, have sought out and killed Jumpers, because only God should be everywhere at once.
Mrs Rice reveals her secret at the end, but in fact, that much was made obvious about half-way through. Rice proves he is no killer by not killing Roland, thus allowing him to continue to hunt him for many sequels to come...
