Review - The Adjustment Bureau

Do we decide our own destiny's? Is our fate are own? Are we just pawns on a large game board being shifted around, or puppets controlled by our strings? These are the thoughts and ideas behind the film "The Adjustment Bureau" It takes us into a world where their are unseen forces manipulating us, steering us towards certain paths.

Matt Damon who has become one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, is cast as the leading man in the thriller "The Adjustment Bureau" playing a man who accidentally gets a peek at the future Fate has planned for him but realizes it is not what he wants.

He meets a beautiful contemporary ballet dancer(played by Emily Blunt) while in the middle of his campaign for senator and ends up falling for her. In order to keep seeing her he has to outsmart the agents of Fate themselves who have considerable power and have conspired to keep them apart. It all comes down to choice in the end. Either accept his predetermined path or fight for the woman he loves.

This movie is a well written, entertaining thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and rattle your mind. The entire cast work well together, particularly Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. It takes you on a ride from start to finish. My only criticism is that I did not care for the ending. While everyone hopes the two lovers will be together in the end, I did not enjoy the final  bit of morality dialogue that felt all to cliche. Overall though a great film, well worth a couple hours of your time.
