More intelligent than you would expect

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2012)

I've been holding out on watching this movie simply because i thought it was clichéd. And I've had my fill of Hollywood making such abysmal movies these days (or is it for years) that I've been sticking to watching European and Korean films, they've got much more grit. But this Hollywood installment is actually very good and a thought provoking ending makes it that much better.
Production: In early drafts, the character Norris was changed from a real estate salesman, as in the short story, to an up-and-coming politician.[9] Media Rights Capital funded the film and then auctioned it to distributors, with Universal Studios putting in the winning bid for $62 million.[4][10] Variety reported Damon's involvement on February 24, 2009,[3] and Blunt's on July 14, 2009.[4] The film was released on March 4, 2011.[11] Nolfi worked with John Toll as his cinematographer. Shots were planned in advance with storyboards but changed often during shooting to fit the conditions of the day. The visual plan for the film was to keep the camera-work smooth using a dolly or crane and have controlled formal shots when the Adjustment Bureau was in full control, with things becoming more loose and using hand-held cameras when the story becomes less controlled.[12] The final scene (on the rooftop of the GE Building in Rockefeller Center ("Top of the Rock") was filmed four months after the rest of the film had completed shooting and has a different ending than the original.
