As preposterous action movies go, Jumper is pleasantly unpretentious and breezily entertaining. A young man named David (Hayden Christensen) discovers he has the power to teleport (or "jump") anywhere he can visualize. After using this power to steal and make a comfortable life for himself, he pursues the girl he longed for in school (Rachel Bilson, The O. C.). But as he does so, another jumper (Jamie Bell, Billy Elliot) and a pack of fanatical jumper-hunters called paladins (led by a white-haired Samuel L. Jackson) crashes into David's freewheeling life. Jumper wastes no time trying to explain how jumping works or delving into the hows and whys of the paladins; this is an alluring fantasy of power directed at a pell-mell pace by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Go). There's a brief moment when it feels like the movie will bog down in romance and vague gestures towards character development--happily, that's the moment when Bell appears and the whole movie shifts into overdrive. You might wish that Bell and Christensen had swapped roles; Bell has a far more engaging personality, and Christensen's bland good looks might better suit a more aggressive character. Nonetheless, Jumper has oodles of dynamism and nifty visual effects to propel its comic-book storyline forward. A variety of recognizable actors in bit parts (such as Diane Lane and Kristen Stewart, Panic Room) suggest that the filmmakers are laying the groundwork for sequels. Based on a critically-acclaimed science-fiction novel by Steven Gould. --Bret Fetzer

Stolen Theme
There are a couple of other reviewers who've made it sound as if this movie, and the book, are creating a new idea here. This is far from the TRUTH!!!

The greatest teleportation story ever written was authored by Alfred Bester (still only a book - nowwwww, that would be a movie!!!), and it was called, "The Stars my Destination".

The first teleportation story ever written was a short story called "Dangerous Dimension" by L. Ron Hubbard authored in the 40's. Both "Dangerous" and "Stars" earn the hallowed mantle of "CLASSIC", and I will be terribly disappointed if the both of them don't make it to the Silver Screen sometime in the near future. "Stars" could actually be made into a trilogy. It is that good, and I recommend everyone read both books.

They are . . . awesomely . . . classic.

Thrill ride
Great thrill ride of a movie. People with no imagination should probably avoid it. But if you like science fiction and well made action sequences then this film delivers.

I liked this one
People seem to want Hayden to fail bc/they're not happy with the recent Star Wars movies, but that's not very fair to this movie. The movie, while not Oscar material, is an entertaining flick. The acting is not bad, despite the complaints of other reviewers.

Again!!! Another good movie underrated
I found this movie so entertaining, I was not disappointed. The concept is good, even though it was treated very juvenile. One thing I liked is that violence was very low, allowing the movie to be seen by a general public. I've seen some comments about the acting, but I found very interesting the way Hayden Christensen performed his roll. There was some kind of a mysterious look on his face with little expression, revealing that there is some kind of uncomforting secret he is hiding and a power like that; you just can't tell anyone. He looks like he wishes to be honest with everyone but then he knows it is dangerous, so he needs to hide it from the people he cares about; it's not easy. His roll was managed in a very mysterious way, which in my opinion gave a very special touch to the movie. There's a lot of action, fights, car race, jumping, etc... even romance, what else do you want from a science fiction movie? 6 stars in total.

So under-rated! This was a magnificent movie!
I got excited the moment I saw the jumper trailer! The story looked cool yet I was prepared for a letdown at the theaters because of the stupid "super-hero" feel I got from the trailer. I was amazed how good it was, and it totally did not feel like some rip-off super-hero flick. The acting was perfect along with the effects. The romance was sweet and short, with an amazing twist at the end. It did feel like there was something small missing at the end and made me realize they probably will make a second movie (which I hope never comes). Jumper is perfect the way it is. I could be wrong a second could be great. I just don't want something to ruin this one.

I truly cant believe what the ratings on here are... This is one of my top ten favorite movies of all time! Most of my friends agree and loved it. Comedy, Sci-fi, Romance, and action all not going too far.

This will be on my dvd shelf forever! Check it out.

If you've been wondering what ever happened to ex-Green Beret superwarrior John Rambo since he singlehandedly shot up a Pacific Northwest town (First Blood, 1982), returned to the jungles of 'Nam to free U.S. POWs held long after war's end (Rambo: First Blood Part II, 1985), and interrupted the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan long enough to blow lots of stuff up and rescue his old commandant from the Reds (Rambo III, 1988), then Rambo (2008) is for you. Without so much as a IV to dilute the brand name, Rambo--which is what most of us called the second, most iconic film in the series--may aspire to open a new era for a pop legend. But it's a thoroughly mechanical attempt to reanimate a franchise that, absent the anger, frustration, and self-loathing of the post-Vietnam years, has no meaning or purpose. For some time now Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) has been putt-putting along the Thai-Burmese border in a longboat, catching exotic snakes to sell. As for the 60-year civil war in Burma between the brutal government and the Karen independence movement, he ignores it. Enter a party of American missionaries whose dewy blond spokeswoman (Dexter's Julie Benz) asks Rambo to haul them upriver so that they can bring medical aid to the insurgents. After the requisite number of monosyllabic refusals, he does. Soon afterward the do-gooders are in a world of hurt, and he's summoned to lead a squad of mercenaries on a rescue mission.

As storytelling, the latest Rambo is the most bare-bones of the bunch. Rambo has little to say, so it's especially galling that Stallone, as director and co-writer, obliges him to have essentially the same conversation at three different points (the final distillation: "Live for nothing or die for something"). The Burmese army goons seem in competition to commit the most hideous atrocity (e.g., child skull-crushing underfoot), the better to justify the eventual, lovingly protracted spectacle of them being eviscerated by high-powered weaponry. Although shot in Thailand, the movie has mostly been photographed in brown, reducing any particular sense of place but, perhaps, perversely increasing our gratitude for the splashes of purple whenever hot metal tatters flesh. --Richard T.

Action! Explosions! Rambo!
My roommate's girlfriend made him watch Legally Blonde: The Musical, perhaps the most emasculating movie of all time, now turned into a musical. In exchange for this, she had to come with us to see Rambo in theaters; the absolute antipode to anything blonde, legal or otherwise. Being in the targeted 18-24 male demographic, I was ecstatic the entire time.

The critics basically hit this movie on two fronts. I'll try to offer a defense of each aspect. First, it's outrageously violent. Parents, don't buy this for your kid; that R rating is there for a very good reason. The violence does escalate past necessarily realistic levels, however Stallone [as the director] frames the violent actions of his character against the antagonist Burmese militants. Rambo's mercenary warfare is much more tolerable when the contrasted with the images of genocide. The second critical hit that this movie will take is the fact that the plot is shallow. In one sentence, Christian missionaries are captured in a warzone, Rambo must go save them. That's it. This definitely isn't No Country for Old Men. In the film's defense, there's some subtle elements that I didn't notice the first time, however, I'll have to agree that the plot is mostly just a vehicle for Stallone's character to blow things up.

Some quick cons: this version of the DVD doesn't contain any special features except for the trailer. To get any of the cool goodies, you need to get the special edition. It's also too bad that Stallone has so few lines in this movie. Yes, his dialog tends to sound absolutely butchered, but half the time he's shouting over gunfire anyway.

This is the epitome of guy movies and deserves to be viewed by anyone who enjoys action flicks.

Rambo goes home!!! Will he stay there???
No B.S. in this movie and it is loaded with great action. Rambo is living in a hell hole and he is still a lost, dark figure. Critics bashed this movie, but I felt it was very effective. Although the film is obviously fiction it opens your eyes to events and dilemas going on in this world. Sly based all of the torture, violence and horrific images on what really happens in that country. Thanks to all the real Rambo's out there. Live for something, die for nothing! Your choice!

The Best Rambo Movie
Rambo 4 is an incredibly violent yet entertaining action adventure. It's the best of them all actually. It's short but sweet but certainly not cuddly sweet. Rocky Balboa was a bit better but still this turnt out better than I expected since I'm not a big Rambo fan.

I just felt like everyone but Rambo's life was in danger in the movie. He was too much of an animal here, I mean he's like Michael Myers type strong. While it's so violent and even some-what disturbing that you'd think Rob Zombie was directing it. Performance wise though Stallone still does Rocky way better than he does Rambo. Rocky at least has a personality. Stallone handles the action great but when he's not violently destroying his enemies he's frowning like he has a stomach ache.

Welcome to the front lines of the war on cybercrime where special Agent Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane) and Griffin Dowd (Colin Hanks) have seen it all?until now. A tech-savvy internet predator is displaying his graphic murders on his own website and the fate of each of his tormented captives is left in the hands of the public: the more hits his site gets the faster his victims die.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Untraceable fuses Saw with The Net in a perverse yet moralistic story about a psychopath who broadcasts acts of torture over the internet--all to better reveal the twisted underbelly of the American public, who hasten the victims' deaths simply by looking at the website. FBI agent Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane, her mature-sexy mojo tamped down but still simmering in the corners of her eyes and the nape of her neck) launches a cyberhunt for the killer, only to find herself and her team caught up in his murderous scheme. It's hard to make tapping on a keyboard and staring at a computer screen exciting, but Untraceable does its best by making Marsh and her cybercrimebusting partner (Colin Hanks, King Kong) rattle off cascades of jaunty techno-jargon and do impressive bits of long-distance surveillance. The movie aims for the audience that flocked to see Ashley Judd in thrillers like Kiss the Girls and Double Jeopardy, but it's hard to say if fans of Lane's romantic fare like Under the Tuscan Sun or Must Like Dogs will enjoy the queasy violence. Nonetheless, the cast--including Mary Beth Hurt (The World According to Garp) as Marsh's mother--does a solid job and the movie clips along at an aggressive pace, maintaining tension throughout. --Bret Fetzer

not what expected
when i first saw this movie i was expecting something more on the line of saw with alot of gory detail in the killings but what this movie is to all who have not seen it with expectations of gore you will not get it from this movie. this movie is more on the lines of seven with brad pitt. one thing that this movie hits on is how simple it is to get people online to come to you, i see now why so many people are missing lol.

B Grade Thriller Which Almost Pulls It Off
I had no idea what to expect from this movie. But with the first scene in which the killer takes the life of a kitten, I figured it would get even more disturbing as the movie progressed. I was correct. Interesting concept nonetheless. The son of a man who commits suicide avenges his father's death which was exploited by the media. He does this by selecting people involved in reporting his father's suicide and proceeding to torture them for all to see via his web site. The more people who watch, the quicker the death. There's social commentary being made but first you need to get through the creative methods of killing people. There is an ironic twist at the end which I'll leave for you to see and ponder. Not a bad movie and certainly not for the squeamish. BnB Beatles Depot

Wait a minute...what are you trying to say....are you blaming us for loving violence!?1?
Untraceable seems like the perfect thriller. And it deals with something that not a lot of thrillers have yet dealt with and that's the idea of cyber crimes and a very disturbing cyber-crime at that. Untraceable could have been the perfect set up for a very disturbing, gory thriller with homages to Silence of The Lambs, Saw, and other thrillers. Unfortunately where the idea was great the execution was awful. I think many mistakes were made with this dud and done differently it could have been great. The unfortunate part is that director Gregory Hoblit is not lacking experience. In fact he has directed some fantastic thrillers and should have been able to make this a far more worthwhile cause. Not only that but he has years of experience of TV Cop Drama and yet fails miserably in creating any sort of character arc or real thrill to the story. Its not a complete wash I mean there are moments where you slide forward on the front of your seat as they dangle this murder in front of you and you think "All right, here we go" and then the next scene sends you slouching back into 'this is boring' mode. Its the perfect collection of the wrong elements.

One reason being Miss Diane Lane. She's a pretty good actress and I like her in a couple of films though I never been a major fan of hers and always seen her in mostly supporting roles. In here I find her boring and just with no emotion to her and that's exactly what she brings to the table. She leads the film in a boring manner without ever really getting into the case besides showing a lot of perseverance. Colin Hanks, probably the most talented on board, does show a lot of potential but they never give him enough to work with so he mostly is just there. Billy Burke is the hot detective who shows up to help out the single Lane. Burke barely is a blip on the radar other than being some sort of lame romantic contact for Lane that never really pans out.

Perhaps given a better, more dynamic script this cast could have pulled together and done something but I think they were an unfortunate ingredient because there was no chemistry no spark, except for maybe a slight connection between Hanks and Lane as partners. Now the real key to this film should have been the murders. The idea was the more people that visited a web site where someone was strung up and dying in a different way, the faster they died. This could have opened up a huge door for being diverse and interesting and they do a half decent job and the murders are grisly and disgusting but everything else around it is so tame and boring that you can easily forget about this film.

Less engrossing than its 2004 predecessor National Treasure, Jon Turteltaub's busy sequel National Treasure: Book of Secrets is nevertheless a colorful and witty adventure, another race against overwhelming odds for the answer to a historical riddle. Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), the treasure hunter who feverishly sought, in the first film, the whereabouts of a war chest hidden by America's forefathers, is now charged with protecting family honor. When a rival (Ed Harris) offers alleged proof that Gates' ancestor, Thomas Gates, was not a Civil War-era hero but a participant in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Ben and his father (Jon Voight) and crew (Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger) hopscotch through Paris, London, Washington DC, and South Dakota to gather evidence refuting the claim. The film is most fun when the hunt, as in National Treasure, squeezes Ben into such impossible situations as examining twin desks in the queen's chambers in Buckingham Palace and the White House's Oval Office, or kidnapping an American president (Bruce Greenwood) for a few minutes of frank talk. Helen Mirren, the previous year's Oscar winner for Best Actress, wisely joins the cast of a likely hit film as Ben's archaeologist mother, long-estranged from Voight's character but as feisty as the rest of the family. Returning director Turteltaub takes excellent advantage of his colorful backdrops in European capitals and the always-eerie Mount Rushmore, and oversees some wildly imaginative sets for this dramedy's feverish third act in an audacious and completely unexpected, legendary setting. If National Treasure: Book of Secrets doesn't feel quite as crisp and unique as its predecessor, it is still ingenious and wry enough to laugh a bit at itself.

Customer Reviews

Great family adventure movie!
If you are worried about watching this because your afraid it won't match up to the first one - go watch it! National Treasure 2 is one of those rare sequels that are actually just as good as the first one. I saw it at the theatre in January with my family and everybody loved it! And best of all the entire cast returns! Riley (Justin Bartha) is just as hilarious as ever!

"Do you own a red Ferrari?"..."Why, yes, I do!"..."Well, it's getting towed."

A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!
Hey, if you are looking for a plot a fifth grader could write, combined with the hollow, monotone acting of Nicolas 'Lame' Cage, then this is the movie for you.
I would file National Treasure (1&2) under movies you will have to watch over and over, in the afterlife...the kind of afterlife where a guy in a red suit with horns is heard constantly laughing in the projection room.

Loved it
I think this film is better than the first and cant wait for the third! I read Mr Instability and it had stories from the set of this movie!

Indiana Jones - The Adventure Collection (Special Editions of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark / Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom / I

Review by : philfab69

These are truly classic action/adventure movies! From the non-stop action to the bits of humor throughout the movies, you will never be disappointed or bored. Harrison Ford is great as Indiana Jones, and Sean Connery nearly steals the show as Indiana's father. There is a new Indiana Jones movie coming out soon, so I wanted to own the originals while I could still buy them. I would think a whole new generation of fans will want to see all of these movies. If you liked National Treasure, you'll love the Indiana Jones movies! Very entertaining epic films and a great way to spend a day.
