Adaptation From the Imagination of Philip K. Dick

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2018)

A short story by Philip K Dick titled "Adjustment Team" (1954) was freely adapted here by Bourne screenwriter George Nolfi who turned it into a glitzy futurist conspiracy thriller. The movie is entertaining and savvy but I found it hard to get past the scene where the two leads enjoy a flirty moment when Blunt plonks Damon's phone into his coffee leaving him smitten as a kitten. Maybe it's me, but if a someone did that to me on a bus in the morning I'm taking them straight to the nearest Apple Store to buy me a new phone. Suffice it to say it's a fun film not to be taken seriously.
