The Adjustment Bureau


The Adjustment Bureau holds the distinction of being a Philip K. Dick adaptation that not only mixes science fiction with philosophy, but is also bold enough to flirt with religion. It’s a pity then that the story of two lovers (Matt Damon and Emily Blunt) trying to outrun the titular bureau that mysteriously wants to keep them apart, lacks the sharp script and artistic vision to make it a film as impactful as Total Recall or Minority Report. Still, the romantic notion that a single kiss can alter the destinies of two complete strangers makes TAB the rarest of SF flicks: one that you can enjoy on a first date.  

3/5
