"The Adjustment Bureau" is a Sci-Fi romance movie in which we watch a man who is a politician and wants to become a Senator getting involved with a beautiful contemporary ballet dancer. After a very strange incident, everything changes for him as he learns about the existence of some people who are responsible for the fate itself and their name is The Adjustment Bureau. They told him about them and they explain what they do and they also tell him not to meet that woman again. After he realizes that he fell in love with this woman he has to fight for her and all the agents of Fate.I liked this movie very much because it has a very interesting plot and a well-written script. In addition to this, I think that the interpretations of Matt Damon who played as David Norris and Emily Blunt who played as Elise Sellas are outstanding and provide to the audience a beautiful romance. The direction which was made by George Nolfi was simply amazing. I also liked the combination of action scenes with romance. At first, this movie it may confuse you due to its mysterious concept but after you understand the plot then you are going to love it.To sum up I have to say that "The Adjustment Bureau" is a very interesting movie with a very new and innovative idea for a plot. I believe that you aren't going to waste your time watching it. I strongly recommend for everyone to see it because I am sure that you are going to have a great time watching it and you are going to enjoy it very much since you are going to be intense for the whole duration of it.

Now he's taking it back."An aspiring politician (Damon) seemingly meets by accident a professional dancer (Blunt), with whom he is immediately smitten, but when members of the Adjustment Bureau intervene to keep them apart, a characteristically reckless Damon determines to track this woman down in defiance of the enigmatic "Chairman."Stylishly mixing genres, Nolfi has crafted an oddly realistic, sci-fi tinged romantic thriller (loosely based on Dick's 1954 short story), with a refreshing emphasis on the touching central romance, rather than on any distracting visual effects.A location-heavy love letter to New York, the film poses provocative questions about how much control we have over our lives, and what parts fate and chance play.Blu-ray Extras: Commentary, Featurettes, Deleted/Extended Scenes, Interactive Map. ***½ (7/10)

The fascinating premise, that there are some talented actors on board and the generally positive word of mouth were my reasons for seeing 'The Adjustment Bureau'. Seeing it, there are no regrets watching it but at the same time it was a little frustrating. It is an interesting and decent film, but had real potential to be a great one and could have been much more.Matt Damon is a charismatic presence and commands the film with ease without ever trying too hard. Emily Blunt has a genuine winning charm as one often finds with Blunt, her character is not quite as interesting as Damon's but Blunt makes it work. The two have great chemistry together, it really sparkles. In fact it is the romance that comes off the best and most consistently, being where 'The Adjustment Bureau' really comes alive. Anthony Mackie is suitably mysterious while also quite likable in the film's latter stages.John Slattery really looks the part and has a lot of fun in a suitably shady role while Terence Stamp brings some sinister dignity and authority to a rather severely underwritten character that appears in the film too late somewhat. On the acting front, 'The Adjustment Bureau' is very good.As it is too with the way it's made, suitably gritty and slick with some inventive moments and an audacious style. The locations are chosen well and used cleverly. The music score has a good mix of understatement and thrilling pulsation. The first half has a lot of very interesting and smart ideas that leaves one gripped enough to carry on and see further how it goes and there is a good deal of fun and a few suspenseful jolts to be had.For all those great things, 'The Adjustment Bureau' would have been an even better film if it had done more with the premise. The romance is the most well done and memorable element of it and the rest doesn't live up. It's intriguing and entertaining, but the second half suffers from playing it too safe and having too many ideas needing to be tied up, meaning that potentially great ideas are not fully expanded upon (even the whole basic premise doesn't feel fully cooked).Pacing does get stodgy, as a result of the lack of risk-taking and struggles with keeping things probable and consistent. Despite the conflict being well performed the threat feels lacking because it is handled in a way that's under-cooked and somewhat repetitive which dilutes the suspense quite badly. The more under-explored 'The Adjustment Bureau' gets, the more confusing, tonally muddled and far-fetched it gets too. This is especially true with the ending, which to me is down there with the decade's "what the heck" film endings.Overall, has a lot to recommend but there was a lot more to the film that never fully emerged. 6/10 Bethany Cox

I will fully admit pushing this from a pretty solid 8 to a 9 because I think it was a little underrated.If you liked Edge of Tomorrow you will like this. I think Emily Blunt has a bit of a niche in Sci-Fi Romance nailed here. Chemistry between Blunt and Damon is nice and I always like Terence Stamp.As an aside I always hesitate watch Matt Damon movies because I think he will annoy me but he always sucks me in... in a good way. I think I conflate him with Brad Pitt which is unfortunate.I marked this as spoiler because it could have worked either way as a sad or uplifting ending and I think what made me jump it up to a nine was because, heck, we all deserve a happy ending once in a while!
