Do we have free will or do we just have the appearance of free will? That is one of the questions that is examined in the movie The Adjustment Bureau. Matt Damon plays a young promising politician with a bright future ahead of him. Greatness seems to be at his footsteps. Is this because of his hard work, charisma or is it that his destiny has already been planned out by agents known as The Adjustment Bureau?
This film is a very clever science-fiction/love story. There is good chemistry between Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. The more they fight to be together, the more resistance they face from The Adjustment Bureau who have different plans for their lives.
The Adjustment Bureau works well on many different levels. There is beautiful set designs coupled with great cinematography. There is solid direction and a very good supporting cast. Where the film falls short of being a great movie is in the middle of the film where it seems to drag a bit. There are some holes in the science of how The Adjustment Bureau works.
Overall it is a very solid film. I like the idea that we must fight for our own destiny. The Adjustment Bureau could have been a better movie, but fell a little short. If it comes on television or if you decide to rent a movie, it comes highly recommended.
Preview for next week: The Might Thor.
