THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU
Cast: Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Anthony Mackie, John Slattery, Terence Stamp, Michael Kelly.
Dir: George Nolfi.
Romantic thrillers are kind of rare in films these days. Rarer still are romantic thrillers with philosophical and even religious undertones. This is just what this film is. It's also very well-made and very well-acted and very entertaining but it's also quite sweet, moving, romantic and has more substance and intelligence than your average thriller or romance. It's a very respectable effort.
Oscar Prospects: I'm not optimistc. Maybe Adapted Screenplay?
Grade: B
