The Adjustment Bureau Movie Review

Matt Damon stars in this romantic thriller (with a little bit of a sci-fi aspect) as a politician seemingly on his way to bigger and better things. A news report turns his political future around though when its reported that he took part in a college reunion prank which causes his large poll lead to disappear and sees his campaign hit a brick wall as he looses badly on election night. He decides to go practice his concession speech in the mens room, thinking he's alone. its only when he's about ready to leave that he hears a noise and comes to find out that a woman had been in the restroom the whole time. They strike up a conversation and by the time they are done talking, kiss. He goes on to give a rousing speech, one that almost immediately revives his political career.

Things take a turn though as the run in with the woman was only suppose to be a one time thing as far as he knew. The Adjustment Bureau knows differently though and helps to guide him to not seeing her again until one day, by accident, they meet on a bus. This sets the Bureau into motion as they have to try and correct the action, eventually revealing themselves and telling him that he can go but never to reveal anything about the Adjustment Bureau.

The movie is well acted and for the most part the plot is decent enough.. can be a little hard to follow if you don't sit and watch the whole thing though I suppose.

I'll give this movie a 8 1/2 out of 10!
