First seen standing atop the Sphinx in Egypt and boasting to the audience about how he used to be "a normal person, a chump, just like you," Hayden Christensen plays a mildly dorky kid who discovers he can teleport. What did he do to earn any of this? He was so very, very special and different from everybody else that he gets to do whatever he wants, and still get framed as the film's shining hero.

You can always tell when a story is adapted from a book, rather than an original screenplay, because the story tends to be more thought out. What starts out as a simple kid having fun and trying to impress, becomes a fight for survival in this amazing action thriller.
