Can love and free will triumph over manipulated fate?

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2012)

This was a well crafted movie whose pacing seemed perfect. I won't go into details of the plot but Damon and Blunt were convincing as lovers who fight all the odds to achieve what we all wish for. It is fablesque, yet still well rooted in the modern world. It has a slight flavor of the darker movie, Dark City. Dark City was more sinister yet both had endings that affirmed life.
Matt Damon's image from the Bourne films help to give muscle to his characterization. And Emily Blunt is winningly real as the ballerina who gives his character's life new meaning and motivation. I enjoyed and recommend this movie.
