The Adjustment Bureau (2011)

106 min, romance, sci-fi, thriller

Director: George Nolfi
Writers: George Nolfi (screenplay), Philip K. Dick (short story      "Adjustment Team")
Stars: Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and Anthony Mackie

Storyline:
Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us? A man glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York the only woman he's ever loved. On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt) - a woman like none he's ever known. But just as he realizes he's falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart. David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself - the men of The Adjustment Bureau - who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path...or risk everything to defy Fate and be with her.

Review:
WOW!!! Great! It is similar to "Inception" where people controls dreams, and here someone controls people's lives. It's a romance movie like you've never seen before. There is a saying "love conquers all" what could be a theme of this movie. Two people who manage to stay together against all odds. Matt Damon is great in his most romantic role ever; as is Emily Blunt as his soul mate. There aren't almost any special effect for a sci-fi movie, but they are not needed at all. To be honest I didn't expect it to be this good, but it was better!

Rating: 8,5/10                                              Buy on Amazon: The Adjustment Bureau
