The Adjustment Bureau



A pleasant enough time-waster that rapidly dumps an idea designed to induce an acute hysteria, in favour of a couple friendly noodle on how ace it is to be in love. The Adjustment Bureau coasts on Emily Blunt's relentless charm and Matt Damon's ability to look confused whilst running, simplifying the machinations of a creator designed multiverse to a couple of prickly, celestial underlings playing at being overprotective parents. Impossible ideas quickly become mundane and everything's resolved with minimal damage to the key players. The only genuine shock is that these empty calories had their beginnings in a Philip K Dick short story.
