Plot holes, plot holes and more plot holes
So then, Paladins? They're a group of people who we presume work for the Government, and are led by white-haired Roland (Samuel L. Jackson).
Paladins, as it turns out, aren't too fond of Jumpers and spend their time hunting and killing them. We're not entirely sure why, but Roland does state on a few occasions that "only God should have the power...", right, fair enough.
The rest of the movie is simply a case of young good guys vs. older bad guys. Only, our young jumpers aren't exactly good themselves so it's more a case of young kinda-bad guys vs. older very-bad guys.
That then is Jumper's story in a nutshell. Now let's take a look at where the story manages to falter on so many occasions. Firstly, following Rice's disappearance as a youngster, nobody seems to question that he returns out of the blue. In fact, when he does return, Millie fails to ask how he avoided imminent death when falling into the frozen lake, and despite not believing Rice's cover-story of being in the Banking industry, she then agrees to just pick up and join him on a trip to Rome.
Here's another one. In Rome, it turns out that doors are only locked on the outside. When trying to take Millie on a tour of the Colosseum, Rice finds Rome's huge tourist attraction to be closed for the day. Not to worry, if doors are locked, you can teleport to the other side and open them. At first, I thought perhaps Rome's finest guards had left a key in one of the doors. But then, when Rice starts to open multiple doors using the same trick - you start to wonder.
The process of jumping has no explanation so we don't exactly know how it works. Judging by Rice's first jumps however, the audience is made to assume that Rice needs to see where he wants to jump. However, he soon ends up jumping to and fro each corner of the globe - either he travels real quick and sees these places, or he works out how to jump to places simply by looking at pictures or visualising them - how would that possibly work?
In Tokyo, Rice and Griffin teleport themselves, and cars, around busy Tokyo streets. Does no civilian see this? It's almost nonsensical, the movie has an endless list of plot holes and a truly unconvincing storyline.
