The Adjustment Bureau was quite the enjoyable movie. It really has the audience rooting for Norris to succeed in outsmarting the bureau. It is definitely something I recommend seeing. It has the foundation of an interesting idea. That idea being that perhaps something or someone unseen or unnoticed is doing things to direct your life. It will have you wondering next time you miss the bus because some bumped into you or when you forget something as you are about to leave the house. What could have happened if you didn't turn back to grab that item in your house? Maybe you could have been in an accident, or caused one. Several successful movies have come out in recent years with the similar concept of toying with these mind blowing ideas. Inception is a great example of this. The difference with The Adjustment Bureau is that it was kept short and simple. It will make you thing for a moment afterwards, but never have the involved thought (and cult following that comes with it) of movies like Inception or The Matrix. You are probably still wondering if the top was wobbling over or not. Fans of these movies will pick them apart and analyze the pieces a hundred times over. While The Adjustment Bureau will never require this much analysis, it is worth the ticket price for the mystery and entertainment it brings. And if you are taking your partner, it is a refreshing break from sappy love stories and romantic comedies. I wouldn't wait for DVD, but if you are, this looks like it could have some excellent bonus features. Possibly an alternate ending or something.
