Very Good - would watch it again and again.

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2011)

Matt Damon and Emily Blunt star in this contrast of a Romance/Comedy/Drama/Suspense and Fantasy/Science Fiction movie. You don't often see these genres combined, but I watched it solely because Damon has a reputation with me of high quality films (for example, the Bourne series and Good Will Hunting).
This one does not disappoint. Damon and Blunt have such a chemistry on screen that their instant attraction anchors the fantasy/science fiction plot. He is placed with her for a brief encounter that will inspire him to rebound from an otherwise devastating political defeat, by someone called the adjustment bureau. They are never to see each other again, except that he is so taken with her that he spends the next couple years trying to find her.
She meanwhile, calls off an engagement because of her brief but truly memorable experience with him.
The bureau's "plan" does not call for them to be together, in fact, it specifically calls for Damon to be without her, so that his political ambitions flourish.
Damon has other ideas, and he is eventually assisted by a bureau "man in black" with a conscience that the bureau is not used to. The rest of the movie concerns whether he is able to reunite with her.
This is a very good movie, and I think you will be surprised at the outcome.
