Review: The Adjustment Bureau

From the film's official website:

Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us? Matt Damon stars in the thriller The Adjustment Bureau as a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he's ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York.

David (Matt Damon) and Elise (Emily Blunt) look at the notebook that chronicles their fate.

Want-to-see film of the week: The Adjustment Bureau

With a seemingly dull title I wasn't particularly grabbed by The Adjustment Bureau until I actually watched the full trailer and read about it in Empire. How often do I need to tell myself "Don't judge a book by it's cover"?

As it didn't hook me straight away I failed to notice it had several aspects that I enjoy in a film...

• A Philip K. Dick inspired storyline.
• A secret organisation that is controlling humanity.
• Trilbies and suits aplenty.
• Matt Damon and his face.

With a storyline that Empire calls "Inception for romantics" this sounds like just my cup of tea.

Hopefully off to see it on Wednesday and I'll give you a full review then.
