The movie starts out great. I thought it was going to be Jason Bourne vs. The Matrix. As it turns out if was a bizarre love story involving fate. Matt Damon, due to an oversleeping "angel" or controller accidentally discovers that "God" aka "chairman" (apparently Frank Sinatra took over that spot) has a master plan for humans because we can't do anything right on our own. The chairman uses "angels" to control the outcome of major events in the world by tweaking people's thoughts and sometimes causing accidents and deaths.
Matt meets a girl and they immediately hit it off, however they were never supposed to meet again as that would change the game plan. When they do, it sends ripples through that ultimate game plan, apparently flexibility is not one of the Chairman's virtues. The movie is about them trying to be together vs. fate keeping them apart. It is perhaps more of a love story than anything else. For people who believe in a higher power, it is as thought provoking as the book of Job.
This movie has no great special effects as Matrix, no fast speed fighting, no great sound track, no nudity, no sex (just implied) and I don't recall any F-bombs.
