The Adjustment Bureau (2011) 7/10

Starring : Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Michael Kelly
Director : George Nolfi
Running Time : 106 mins

When up and coming politician David Norris (Damon) falls for ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Blunt), he finds that a mysterious group of men are desperately trying to keep them apart. As he digs deeper, Norris discovers that the men work for an organization known as The Adjustment Bureau – an organization that are there to ensure that the correct paths of destiny are walked down and not deviated from, not matter what the cost.

Basically this is a chase movie combined with a love story; Damon and Blunt spend the whole movie running away from the powers that want to keep them apart, all the while driving them closer together. This is actually an interesting story, that poses the question of whether destiny can be changed in the pursuit of true love, but the real question should be concerning which destiny is the true one as the two lead characters seem to be destined to be together as everything actually seems to be throwing them together while the Bureau are forcing their will on them to keep them apart.
