Movie Storyline
Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us? Matt Damon stars in the thriller The Adjustment Bureau as a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he's ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York. On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt)-a woman like none he's ever known. But just as he realizes he's falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart. David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself-the men of The Adjustment Bureau-who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path...

User Review:

Advanced Screening , rated: 9/10
Just got back from an advanced screening here in Virginia and all I can say right now is, wow. It took it a little bit to start off, but when it did, it hit. Hard. Like, getting ran over by a truck or thrown up a flight of stairs only to fall back down them..after getting hit by a truck. This is great quality and trumps anything I have seen lately. The performances were stellar and, well, I could actually put up with Damon. Granted, I do wish Terence Stamp was in it a bit more, but he serves his purpose. John Slattery and his misfortune brought my crowd a bunch of laughs. All in all, I plan on seeing this again as soon as I get the opportunity.

If and when you get the chance to see it, I highly recommend you do.
