The Plot\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Norris (Damon) was the leading candidate for a Senate seat.\u00a0 A foolish college prank that Norris pulled years ago blew up on Social Media and cost him the race.\u00a0 As Norris, thinking he’s alone, goes over his concession speech he meets Elise Sellas (Blunt).\u00a0 There’s an instant attraction between the two.\u00a0 He gets her first name and phone number before she has to run off and he has to give his speech.<\/p>\n

The next day, Norris plans to call Elise.\u00a0 He’s surprised to discover that a group of well dressed men are going to do everything in their power to keep the two apart.\u00a0 Norris is told that if he and Elise get together it will ruin “the plan”.\u00a0 As crazy as it sounds, this plan will change the world.\u00a0 Norris sees enough to realize he’s not dealing with humans.\u00a0 He also realizes that he’s got to see Elise again… no matter the cost.<\/p>\n

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Adjustment Bureau<\/em> crosses into several genres (sci-fi, romance, drama) and works well in each.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The Adjustment Bureau<\/em> will leave the viewer thinking about free will, destiny and how far would he\/she would go to be with someone… even at the expense of the “greater good”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matt Damon and Michael Kelly are excellent. Emily Blunt, Anthony Mackie and Terence Stamp give performances that take the film to another level.\u00a0 Watch for Pedro Pascal.\u00a0 He has a cameo as a Maitre D’.<\/p>\n

The Adjustment Bureau <\/em><\/strong>(2011) <\/span>rates 4 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n
