The Adjustment Bureau

    What a different concept. The Adjustment Bureau (2011) leads to some very interesting thoughts.  Thoughts about free will and decision making and a greater power being involved in those things.  George Nolfi directed and wrote The Adjustment Bureau.  He has written the screenplay for The Sentinel, Ocean’s Twelve, Timeline and The Bourne Ultimatium however this is his first time in the director’s chair.  I thought he did pretty well.  Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting, The Departed, Hereafter, Green Zone) stars as David Norris, a very promising politician. Emily Blunt (the Devil wears Prada, the Young Victoria, the Wolfman) plays Elise, the love of his life.  I really enjoyed the cast in this movie. They were all amazing. However, Anthony Mackie (the Hurt Locker, Million Dollar Baby, Eagle Eye) plays Harry and in my opinion he stole the show.  His performance was so moving. I loved watching the relationships evolve.
       The Adjustment Bureau has a little bit of everything.  There is the love story, action and a bit of a mystery to solve. Very entertaining movie all in all.
