The Adjustment Bureau

Writer George Nolfi made his feature debut with this romantic Sci-Fi drama. A politician and a dancer fall in love but are separated by a group of mysterious men with supernatural powers. Besides some interesting concepts, there's a great romantic story lost in this messy film where religion meets science fiction. This complicated and ambitious story required the vision of a seasoned director which seems too much of a task for a novice. The always reliable Matt Damon and Emily Blunt bring their talent and charm but can't save the film. The cast includes Anthony Mackie and Terrence Stamp in supporting roles. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
