Stars: Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Anthony Mackie, John Slattery, Terence Stamp
I wasn't expecting too much from this, but I really wanted to go to the cinema (it's been a month! I have withdrawal symptoms!), and of the things that were on, this got some of the better reviews (albeit not brilliant ones).
The Adjustment Bureau is all about David Norris (Damon), a man who meets a girl in a hotel bathroom and falls in love. When he's told he's not allowed to see her anymore because that's not in "the plan", he refuses to accept this.
I loved this movie. I really enjoyed the fact that it wasn't just a straight action movie, and that the film made you care about the plot, and characters who had proper personalities (they could so easily not have done). I also really liked the idea of The Adjustment Bureau. It's very hard not to equate them with God, but I think this bothered Dan (and presumably all those reviewers out there) far more than it bothered me.
Rating: 4 out of 5
