Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2014)

The Adjustment Bureau (2011):
The extraordinary love story of a couple who aren't allowed to meant to be for each other.
The Bureau is a group that corrects the mistakes people make and be sure not to allow people to outrun their corrects they decided. This is all written in books that members of the group carry with them. Each book defines the persons life. The boss of The Bureau, what the group calls him the "chairman". He writes the roads that people must cover to reach their end destination, fate/destiny. If anyone reveals who and what the group is. The group then will take responsibilities. Erasing the memory of the person who breaks the rule.
A man that will eventually maybe make it to The White House meets a girl that for sure will make it to professional ballerina. The place where love overtook was the bathroom and the place where destiny meets was in the bus.
As the group try to prove they aren't meant to be for each other and do whatever it takes to prevent they won't meet each other again, the truth rest in pure love. He must let go of her, but he can't. He is willing to do everything for her.
Eventually, a member of The Bureau decides to help the man to find his love again.
Later on, as the man found the women, The Bureau found them too. And is willing to brainwash his memory. (The movie lets us see that pure love overcomes everything, even the Adjustment Bureau). We see the couple kissing as the guards standing around them. But their love for each other is so strong that the chairman rewrote their books and let them live together.
This movie could be phenomenal and very well told, but unfortunately I think the writers just didn't raise the bar and stayed on one level as they work to the core of the movies topic.
But the incomparable predictable story and the message the movie left was so beautiful and emotionally touching. It belongs to one of my favorite.
