After seeing Matt Damon on Bourne Trilogy and The Shooter, audiences – perhaps including you and me – formed a distinct image of cool and composed character whenever they see Damon appearing. The Adjustment Bureau takes advantage of that particular image and places Matt Damon in an amazing role as David Norris, an ambitious politician running for a seat in the US Senate.
The will-be US Senate meets with Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt), a ballet dancer that quickly captures her heart. As David falls deeper in love with Elise, however, a mysterious man stage a plot to keep the two apart. It is not long before David realizes that he is up against the agents of Fate itself, known as the men of The Adjustment Bureau, and the odds against him.
David needs to decide whether to let her go and accept the path determined for him, or fight against The Adjustment Bureau despite risking everything to be together with Elise.
Written and directed by George Nolfi – writer of Ocean’s Twelve – The Adjustment Bureau builds up tension and surround the main characters with mysterious aspects and intriguing twists perfectly. If you love a good romantic movie, you will also find The Adjustment Bureau very pleasant to watch.
Despite the complicated plot and intense storyline, The Adjustment Bureau is not difficult to watch at all. Instead of walking out of the theater with questions, you will be doing so with a big smile and a lovely feeling of delight after watching a fantastic movie.
