The Adjustment Bureau

Matt Damon plays David, a youthful Senate candidate for New York, and Emily Blunt, plays Elise, the woman who would inhabit David's personal void after a chance meeting on the night of the election.  The film introduces us to the concept of integral forces out there which undermine personal choice in lieu of guiding humanity through a form of fate policed by the adjustment bureau (AB), which is tasked with keeping things running on schedule and according to plan.

Damon and Blunt have a nice chemistry between, it's believable, and it's the thread that holds the plot line together, even though at a tenuous pace.  There are chase scenes that don't need to happen if a simple bit of Q&A occurred between the principals, but it ramps up the movie's tension and buoys the AB's importance in interjecting themselves into the lives of these 2 people, and ups the stakes at their union in the second half of the film.  Overall, was I surprised by the end, not really, but it was an interesting thought experiment put to film, and it had a good steady pace, with increasing amounts of urgency in the final act.

I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B.
