Not trying to be too critical (i know its just a movie). Liked it but....

I wondered "why aren't the jumpers packing heat? or even paladins for that matter?"

If you could transport anywhere and had an organization that wanted to kill you, couldn't you shoot them and dump their body to the middle of the ocean? don't have to worry about getting busted with holding a firearm when you can disappear.

on the paladin side, why bother with stunning and stabbing the jumpers when you could just put a bullet in them? Its kinda hard to transport when youre dead.

agreed...plus if they did that, the movie would have been 5 minutes long.

Also, if electricity is your only weakness, why not wear a rubber suit?

So you want to spend a entire day in a giant rubber?

Would you rather walk around all day in a giant condom or be dead?

Is this a trick question? Obviously death. The chafed would drive me to suicide anyway so its not like these are different options.

Man lots of dislike for this movie.

I thought it was OK but going into it I thought it was going to be terrible.

What would happen if your mobile phone killed you. Why would a mobile phone kill anyone? It doesn't make sense. How can a mobile phone have an agenda?

I hate it when they fail to address simple plot holes like this. Same with the Blade movies. Look guys, like a hundred of you just died from getting staked in the heart, you might want to start wearing some body armor... just a thought.

You do realize you could fill it full of vaseline first? Kinda like that guy with the glove in Of Mice and Men, only for your whole body. Actually that would've made a lot of sense for the movie, with Darth Douche all smug and shit.

I know some people hate it, but I didn't think it was too bad. Just your average mindless Hollywood movie.

Just saw it... It had so much potential, but wow, that was really hard to follow, too fast and too shallow.
