The Adjustment Bureau

I thought this movie would be about politics, from the trailer I remember Matt Damon was always wearing a suit, and the title itself seems like it could be political. Well, I wasn't entirely wrong, politics plays a small role, but this is more a sci-fi thriller with some romance. At its core this movie is about free-will versus fate. Do we really make our own choices, or is everything already "meant to be"?

I really liked this movie. The supernatural aspect of things kind of reminded me of Damon's previous movie Hereafter. But The Adjustment Bureau was way better. It has to do with a higher power, and the influence it has on our lives. The chemistry between Matt Damon and his love interest (played by Emily Blunt) is fun and flirty and electric. But all that chemistry didn't stop me from still questioning why she would take him back towards the end. Until then, I was totally buying it, hook, line, and sinker. I love what this movie has to say about a higher power, I might not believe or agree with it, but it was still interesting to entertain the thought.

A smart movie.
