Watch The Adjustment Bureau For Free

Very disappointing...

Such a frustrating disappointment

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Interesting story line which people allways asking often how life are going next when we do and don't something. I thinking about the true man show and ethernal sunshine of the spotless mind. It is a good and great one story for me. Sometime you will doubt what is life go on :)

A short story by Philip K Dick titled "Adjustment Team" (1954) was freely adapted here by Bourne screenwriter George Nolfi who turned it into a glitzy futurist conspiracy thriller. The movie is entertaining and savvy but I found it hard to get past the scene where the two leads enjoy a flirty moment when Blunt plonks Damon's phone into his coffee leaving him smitten as a kitten. Maybe it's me, but if a someone did that to me on a bus in the morning I'm taking them straight to the nearest Apple Store to buy me a new phone. Suffice it to say it's a fun film not to be taken seriously.

The acting in this movie is terrible, the characters are like talking puppets. Matt Damon plays the same guy from Good Will Hunting, the intelligent guy with a pitiable background. Emilly Blunts character is just as stereotypical, playing the struggling artist with a bad girl complex. The bowler hat guys are the worst because they have nothing of interest to say, in fact they all behave the same way, It's like they are there to make you think something is happening, when nothing really is. I don't see the romance between the two main characters, if anything the intimate moments between the two made me cringe. The dialogue between all these characters are not memorable or interesting, obviously the script lets it down. There is absolutely no charm in this movie or it's characters, you cannot substitute good acting or writing with a silly far fetched plot.

If you don't watch a lot of movies, "The Adjustment Bureau" will be an entertaining ride. If, like me, you've "seen 'em all", this one does not stand out in any way, shape, or form.For a basic plot summary, "Adjustment Bureau" tells the story of David Norris (Matt Damon) and Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt), two lovers seemingly destined to be together. However, a mysterious group of derby-wearing men in suits (known only as the Adjustment Bureau) do all they can to prevent the coupling in order for the world to stay on "the plan".The main problem with this movie is that it tries to be so many different things and doesn't succeed at any of them. It's a romance, but without romantic tension. It's an action flick, but with no effects or chase scenes that stand out. It's a philosophical piece, but with little time to really dig in. It's a paranormal romp, but without any explanation in the end. Basically, it's one of those movies where the lead characters run around a lot, emote a tad, and end up with a very contrived, unappealing climax for the effort.Thus, while "The Adjustment Bureau" doesn't outrightly fail at anything (hence the two star rating as opposed to one), it doesn't really succeed at much, either. Unless you don't get out much, skip this effort and find something that really works.
