My Thoughts on "The Adjustment Bureau"

It's been a while since I rambled along on the blog, so I thought I'd write up a review of The Adjustment Bureau.

Over the weekend, I rented this movie from the local RedBox. I kind of wanted to see it, but it was not one of those movies that I just had to rush out to see. Since this was pretty much the only choice I had, I chose it.

The film is about an up and coming politician who is at the top of his game who meets the woman of his dreams. The catch is that they were never supposed to meet in the first place. When they met, they altered "the Chairman's" plan, which could have dire consequences if things continue. So, "caseworkers" from the Adjustment Bureau are sent to ensure that Matt Damon's character will never be able to find her. He becomes obsessed with her and continues to search for her, only to be met with further resistance from the caseworkers, who in reasoning with him, offer him a choice: Forget about the girl and stick to "the Plan" which leads to better and brighter things, or continue to pursue her and destroy not only his future, but hers as well.

I really liked The Adjustment Bureau. I wouldn't say that it's a must see, but if you have a couple of hours to spare, it's worth watching. There is a good plot to the film and some pretty decent special effects. There is a decent plot behind the movie and it gets you thinking. I think I would give this one 4 stars.
