It's not Inception, but it's pretty good.

Rating: 7/10 (21 March 2011)

I've always been a fan of high-concept films, Inception being my favourite of the lot. I love the originality and brilliant new ideas the script writers put forward. The Adjustment Bureau puts forward a brilliant idea that raises questions, but the film's story does not quite live up to the potential of the brilliant ideas put forward.
The basic bulk of the story is a simple but satisfying love story. The real fun begins when a group of mysterious suit-wearing gentlemen show up interfere in the life of the protagonist. Their arrival raises questions as to how much choice we really have as human beings, if history is written, and even goes so far as to suggest the existence of god. In the end, who or what the (adjustment bureau) are is a matter of the audience's opinion and interpretation. My only real gripe with this movie is just as it starts to get deeper into the concept itself, we are still left wondering, with only a few questions answered.
As for the acting, I thought Matt Damon and Emily Blunt both played their roles perfectly on screen and the chemistry between them was great. In fact, I personally couldn't find any bad acting here.
It's well worth a watch, and 7/10 does feel a little harsh. I just really wish I could have discovered more about this mysterious organisation....
