Jumper (2008, DVD, Blu-ray)

Doesn’t offer audiences a single challenge beyond the very real challenge of getting through it.

Hayden Christensen is David Rice, a jumper whose powers of teleportation are under attack by a Paladin named Roland (Samuel L. Jackson, bleached, bellowing, boring), who is trying to kill David and other jumpers as they leap about the world while David also tries to rescue his girlfriend back home. 

With the exception of a very good Jamie Bell as a fellow jumper, everything in this exhausting movie goes wrong, which is curious since its director, Doug Liman, also directed the excellent first "Bourne" movie.

And yet here, he puts the squeeze of stupidity on us right from the start.
