Fabulous, real, heart-wrenching, soul-searching

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2011)

The Adjustment bureau, I walked into this movie thinking that it was going to be a nice SCI-FIwith its great reviews and then after a few minutes I felt that this was going to be a copy of the Master SCI-FI film, "Dark City", but no, there was an unexpected twist. Instead of the expected forces that shape higher destiny, this movie focused on an emotion that can destroy the best laid plans. Love. Love and this movie had oodles of it, and some real powerful performances by Matt Damon not fighting with weapons, but with his heart. Wow, never thought that I would enjoy such a movie, that even mentioned the Holocaust and that made me nauseated for a few minutes, but then the movie just kept coming, and I loved it. The tech and its seamless integration into the movie was sensational. Awesome low cost ideas that looked far better than any Ipad tech out there. This movie was all about Human Endurance. Spirit and chance encounters. The film was fascinated with chance and free Will and I think that it plays out very well for this film. This movie does break new ground, and is a pleasure to watch brilliant performances by everyone. Top class.
The people who made this movie are great, but top credits go to the Storyline, and that's where the film scores heavily for me. I give it an eight because the story had me guessing, and there was sheer genius in whoever wrote this movie. Genius Direction, and great acting with a great message for Humanity that Life is indeed a Puzzle, but do we have the balls to "Write" our own Story? Hehehe. That's why I became a Writer myself
