What if your life was running according to plan, just not your own?

Rating: 7/10 (22 September 2012)

A sci-fi movie with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt that also features an epic love story? Who could not like something like that? Add John Slattery and Terence Stamp for good measure and you have a pretty good movie.
The plot is adapted after a short by Philip K. Dick and you can feel that immediately in the film when Damon's character finds out people's lives are being controlled by a corporate like entity run by a chairman who writes the plan of what everybody should do. An adjustment team comes in whenever we mess with the master plan.
There is not much I can add without spoiling it for you, but the ending kind of ruined it for me. You know when something spectacular happens in a hero movie and that's why he's the hero? Because other 99 people have tried the same thing and died like dumbasses at the start of the story? This film is kind of the same. Any smart person would feel the odds are ridiculously tilted in the other guy's direction and that the ending, however happy it might seem, is just a drop in a sea of sorrow.
Other than that, a nice movie, but easily forgettable. Damon's Paycheck, perhaps, to bring out a parallel with his former friend Ben Affleck.
