The Adjustment Bureau




Another film that I am lucky enough to watch. The Adjustment Bureau is a film that is pretty intense and weirdly kind of way. Starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt the film is about fate, event, and free will.

The film was loosely based on Phillip K. Dick's short story, call Adjustment Team. It tells a story about a young and upcoming senate candidate (played by Matt Damon) that is on his way of becoming the greatest man in the US. However, he lost the first campaign he entered, but met a woman (played by Emily Blunt) that captivated his heart from the first time they met. What he didn't know is that, it is all part of the plan.

The plan that was controlled by a group of people known as The Adjustment Bureau. The Adjustment Bureau is the people that enforce the plan of all the human on earth, they are kinda like the angel. They act according to the plan that was written by The Chairman, perhaps God himself.

Matt Damon plan deviate when one of his caseworkers fail to put him in the right path, that somehow by chance he meet the Emily again in a bus. This creates ripple effect that will lead to greater consequences and the chase for a free will. For one, Matt learns about the bureau, but was warned not to tell anyone, or they will mash his brain up.

The bureau will do absolutely everything to stop Matt from ever meeting with Emily again, but again by chance he did. Now the bureau are out to pull them apart, and stop them from ever falling in love. Will they succeed or will Matt perseverance kept the love alive?

I don't know where to categorize this film, Wiki categorize it as a romantic science fiction thriller, I gonna go with that. I'm gonna give this a solid 3/5 stars.
