Flash Movie Review: The Adjustment Bureau

If you believe there are no accidents, that there is a reason for everything; then this movie will intrigue you. What if there were forces outside of us, keeping watch on our every move–how would you feel? David Norris played by Matt Damon (Inside Job, Green Zone) was a promising politician. By chance or was it by chance he meets Elise Sellas, played by Emily Blunt (The Wolfman, The Jane Austen Book Club), who has an immediate effect on him. This movie presented a different spin on what it means to experience deja vu. It was thrilling without a single gun being fired or setting off a fiery explosion. And it was a romance, like the kind Tony and Maria felt for each other in West Side Story. Matt is such an affable actor, so believable in this movie. Pairing him up with Emily was the perfect choice for the roles needed in this film. My major criticism of the movie was it petered out towards the end. I felt the writers had so much going on, that they did not know how to end the story.  And that was a disappointment for me.

About moviejoltz

From a long line of movie afficionados, one brother was the #1 renter of movies in the country with Blockbuster, I am following in the same traditions that came before me. To balance out the long hours seated in dark movie theaters, I also teach yoga and cycling. For the past 3 years, I have correctly picked the major Oscar winners... so join me as we explore the wonder of movies and search for that perfect 4 star movie.

  1. I agree with you completely about the ending. I was so disappointed as I had such high hopes for this new sic fi.
