The Adjustment Bureau


We live in a predetermined world where we have no control over our own fates and our destinies are mapped out.  If we fall off these paths, then there are those whose job it is to make sure we get back on track.  This is what happens when David Norris (Matt Damon), an up and coming politician meets ballet dancer Elise (Emily Blunt).  Despite there being an instant connection between the two, they were never meant to be together and it isn’t long before their relationship brings the truth of the world they live in to the front and The Adjusters intervene.
The Adjustment Bureau runs along a similar idea to the Matrix where our lives are not our own and not everything is as it seems.  This movie makes you think outside the box and keeps you gripped.  There is a romantic story imbedded within the sci-fi story which helps to keep the movie grounded and is made believable with a convincing performance from both Damon and Blunt.  Definitely worth seeing.
