Ordinary, significantly lacking depth

Rating: Null/10 (12 August 2011)

Expecting an intriguing thriller about the power of love conquering a conspiracy of faceless men, I was thoroughly disappointed.
While the plot should have made for a conflicting tail of human emotion versus a logical master plan, it left an empty, hollow feeling and lacked significant character and plot development.
Matt Damon's character, while portrayed as a confident, young aspiring politician, was enamored by an unlikely dancer, seemingly only after a few minutes of meeting one another. The romance between the two was hollow and even at the end seemed wrong. No character development of either main characters eventuated, nor did the relationship build which led the expected feeling of "love above all" a major anticlimax.
Couple that with the lack of suitable character development for the actual adjustment bureau, whereby seemingly confident men with a higher knowledge become useless, unimportant plot casualties, the entire movie lacked cohesion.
Very disappointed in what sounded like a real winner.
