Add a QuoteThompson: "...For six hundred years we taught you to control your impulses with reason. Then in 1910 we stepped back. Within fifty years, you'd brought us World War I, The Depression, fascism, The Holocaust, and capped it off by bringing the entire planet to the brink of destruction in The Cuban Missile Crisis. At that point a decision was taken to step back in again before you did something... that even WE couldn't fix. You don't have free will, David. You have the *appearance* of free will."

Add a CommentBased on Philip K. Dick's 1954 short story "Adjustment Team", which lacked hats, portals, politicians, dancers and romance. The film preserves the essence of the story nevertheless while doing a better job of developing it. I highly recommend both.
Well, it's not Blade Runner, but it is fun to watch nonetheless. Matt Damon as a politician is believable, Emily Blunt doesn't convince me as a dancer at all, but she has a great delivery of funny lines, Terence Stamp is always riveting--that stone face--and makes me watch even though some of his lines are pretty dumb. Good party flick.
Wow! What an awesome, enjoyable thriller! Wonderful performances by both Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. LOVE!
I liked it. Similar to the Matrix. The designer of the plan is God. destiny for this man and this woman to be together, yet the agents (could be angels, could be demons) play their parts and the will of man and woman will determine if they receive what was meant for them along.
Man this was a DUMB movie.
Matt Damon plays a guy who bumps into the right girl only to be forced apart. He stumbles upon the reason why. There is a group called the Adjustment Bureau and they are like guardian angles guiding them on their path.
So surprisingly enjoyable. Has little something special for a love story that makes one think if you were in the situation that they were. Love story with an angle on life!
When I watched this movie I thought Emily Blunt must have been a trained dancer before becoming an actress. A bonus feature explained that she had never danced before and it took her two months of intense training to learn. Amazing!
Pretty good Sci-Fi/fantasy, love story. Director unfolds the story nicely and it's interesting. Nice suspension of disbelief. Special effects are appropriate and don't take away from the story telling. Matt Damon plays his like-able man of the people character okay, but he looks like a smug individual underneath. Emily Blunt is attractive and effective as his soul mate. John Slattery from Mad Men is great as his case worker.......watch the out takes to see his role expanded a bit.
Creative, suspenseful, well-written sci-fi thriller that answers the question: "Who's really in charge?"
