By no means the worst film that Hayden Christensen has been a part of, Jumper will be remembered as one of the first clear signs that George Lucas wasn't totally to blame for Anakin Skywalker's dull screen presence. For us, it was proof that all the potential in the world can still beat the odds, and result in a boring, misguided movie.

Cristal arranges for Nomi to audition for the chorus line of Goddess. Tony Moss, the show's director, humiliates Nomi by asking her to put ice on her nipples to make them hard. Furious, Nomi abruptly leaves the audition after scattering ice everywhere in a fit. Despite her outburst, Nomi gets the job and quits Cheetah's. Cristal further humiliates Nomi by suggesting she make a "goodwill appearance" at a boat trade show, which turns out to be a thinly disguised prostitution set-up. A sequel focusing on minor character Penny was released in 2011. Titled Showgirls 2: Penny's from Heaven, it was written, produced, edited, and directed by and starred Rena Riffel, who was the only character returning, apart from cameos by Glenn Plummer and Greg Travis. The premise was a strong one, with a lead character able to teleport to anywhere in the world he'd seen himself, including (but not limited to) the Sphinx. That kind of access to wealth, romance, and world traveling would absolutely turn any young man into the embodiment of sci-fi cool (thereby totally justifying those billowing coat tails). Even the name 'jumper' changes up what we'd typically expect from a movie about a teleporter.

Gina Gershon as femme fatale/lead dancer Cristal gives the best performance of the film. She obviously is in sync with the director and has a lot of fun with the part, and if you only watch it for one reason, watch it for her. Because, in the words of L'Oreal, she's worth it. She's a great talent and it's a shame she's not recognised more widely. a b Alter, Ethan (September 23, 2020).
