The Adjustment Bureau is a smart and sleek movie adapted from a short story by Philip K. Dick. The movie is well developed and the stars well cast.Matt Damon plays a politician on the verge of making the leap to the big league when he unexpectedly meets a dancer, played by Emily Blunt, and instantly falls for her. Their attraction is incredibly strong but viewed negatively by the seemingly omnipotent agents of The Adjustment Bureau, who consider it a non-starter. Whose will will prevail?
Besides Damon and Blunt, both giving balanced performances, we are treated to a good turn by the always fascinating John Slattery but we also get a sometimes unfocused Terence Stamp.
Overall, I really liked this movie. This is the type of thriller that usually leaves me very satisfied, so I’d recommend it to everyone.
Grade: 8
