By chance or fate?

Rating: 4/10 (21 November 2011)

You've heard of wearing your thinking cap; forget about it. Understanding is in need of an adjustment. George Nolfi directs his screenplay about controlling destiny. A rising star on the political scene, David Norris(Matt Damon), meets beautiful ballet dancer Elise(Emily Blunt)on a crowded bus. Is this by chance or fate? Norris is in the process of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate and he is sidetracked by his desire to see this woman again. He searches the streets of New York and when he finds her, he realizes he is falling in love with a woman like none he has ever experienced. It seems the attraction is mutual, but a group of mysterious men dressed in black are openly conspiring to keep the two apart. It appears Norris is being controlled by agents of Fate calling themselves The Adjustment Bureau. Is David Norris' future already predetermined? Maybe it is easier to not ask why. Also in the cast:Anthony Mackie, John Slattery, RJ Konner, Michael Kelly and Phyllis MacBryde.
