A Major Disappointment
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Interesting story line which people allways asking often how life are going next when we do and don't something. I thinking about the true man show and ethernal sunshine of the spotless mind. It is a good and great one story for me. Sometime you will doubt what is life go on :)
A short story by Philip K Dick titled "Adjustment Team" (1954) was freely adapted here by Bourne screenwriter George Nolfi who turned it into a glitzy futurist conspiracy thriller. The movie is entertaining and savvy but I found it hard to get past the scene where the two leads enjoy a flirty moment when Blunt plonks Damon's phone into his coffee leaving him smitten as a kitten. Maybe it's me, but if a someone did that to me on a bus in the morning I'm taking them straight to the nearest Apple Store to buy me a new phone. Suffice it to say it's a fun film not to be taken seriously.
Matt Damon and Emily Blunt star in this rather predictable science fiction love story. Damon is a New York politician, just a regular guy from Brooklyn with JFK like charisma and Blunt is dancer from England. They meet in a bathroom and it is love at first sight. A perfect Ken and Barbie kind of yuppie couple. Some strange men in hats appear and become a road block to the happy couple. They are in control of all the things that happen on earth. They seem to be some kind of guardian angels, steering helpless mankind into survival. The script gets a bit convoluted and our couple are the star crossed type of Romeo and Juliet depth of love. Damon and Blunt are likeable enough for me to recommend This film for some light hearted diversion.
"The Adjustment Bureau" is highly creative and intelligent in terms of the story that is being conveyed to viewers. The concept that someone(apart from God) is trying to "adjust" our daily lives according to a predetermined "plan" is the greatest element of thrill in the story/ screenplay. It might come as a shock for some viewers. The plot moves forward at a decent pace and viewers will keep wondering what is going to happen next. Therefore, it definitely captures the interest and full attention of its viewer.The chemistry between the two main lead actors (Matt Damon and Emily Blunt)is outstanding, almost magical. Viewers can actually "feel the love" between Matt Damon (Norris) and Emily Blunt (Elyse). Their on-screen chemistry is one of the major attractions of "The Adjustment Bureau". The movie is also visually appealing and edited brilliantly.I would love to become a full-time movie critic or a story-writer for movies because movies exist in every breath I take.
