An unexpected philosophical masterpiece!

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2011)

In the beginning of The Adjustment Bureau you see, David, Matt Damon's character run for election. It's kind of a lighthearted moment. These moments come and go throughout the film adding to it's dynamics and making it more than another conspiracy thriller a la' Bourne Identity or Taken.
As The Adjustment Bureau moves on it unwinds into a stunning work of art sometimes churning out cheesy moments but rarely, in exchange for romantic desire and philosophical mind bending, along with occasional action.
Matt Damon and Emily Blunt perform their very best as usual. They seem destined to be together despite what seems like a whole universe keeping them apart. The array of Adjustment characters are also remarkable and are not too pretentious (though it get's close, they we're chosen wisely).
Also Anthony Mackie plays his character gracefully while pushing the film above average for a great story with a wide array of good characters. With just one more unique character I would have given this a 10.
One of my favorite films of the year!
