Leave your thoughts about Jumpin' Jack Flash.
| Washington PostRita KempleyIt's Whoopi Goldberg, however, who gives you something extraordinary. At the center of all this formula tongue-in-cheek thriller pablum, she keeps sending out weird curves and bent splinters of off-center energy. She's a remarkably empathic actress, and you only hope she'll get a few vehicles that push her to the limit. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottA good third of this overblown movie consists of stunt-filled action sequences that turn a human story into something akin to Cannonball Run. That's too bad, because Goldberg's character is a terrible thing to waste. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhoopi Goldberg is the only original or interesting thing about Jumpin' Jack Flash. And she tries, but she's not enough. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe idea is funnier than the execution. Miss Goldberg is only funny when she is being foul-mouthed, which seems rude since no one else is allowed to respond in kind or degree. |
| IndiewireSergioNo one will say that Jumpin’ Jack Flash, a comedy thriller in which Whoopi plays a computer operator who gets accidentally tangled up in a silly plot involving spies and dead bodies, is the greatest film ever, let alone a passively good one. |
| EmpireGavin BainbridgeWhoopi's affable clowning aside, this film has little more than the title and the bad-mouthed postponement of cliche going for it. |
