The Adjustment Bureau

Title: The Adjustment Bureau

Year: 2011
Rating: PG-13 (bare skin, punching, language)

Synopsis: Harry is well on his way to winning a seat in the Senate, but a mishap causes him to slip. The only thing that saves him is the inspiration brought to him by a woman, and he realizes that she is the one he never knew he was waiting for. But as he struggles to find her again and again, he encounters a force no one else knows exists. They are the Adjustment Bureau, and they will do what they can to make Harry and Elise stick to "The Plan".

Best Part/Best "Phrase": The Hammer. Dun dun duuuun.
Favorite Actor: Terence Stamp, who plays Thompson (The Hammer)
Music Quality: It definitely fit, but unfortunately the trailer tops it.
Language: There is language, but it's not too bad or overdone.

Pros: The movie is a great conversation piece about chance, free will and fate. The overall plot is very intriguing and the Adjusters themselves keep up an interesting mystery about their roles without actually spilling everything and diving over into Cheese Land. Both sound and acting are good, with great chemistry between Harry and Elise, but the real strong point is the story, not the actors.

Cons: Somehow a bit of the acting seemed amiss. Even with the story to support the character's actions and feelings, it still seems doubtful they would fall for one another so fast. Some explanations are left out, which is necessary, but some of it seems half-assed. There is one point in the movie that screwed up some logic and left a rather gaping plot hole.

Rating: 7.8/10
Rewatch Value: Average. It's definitely worth seeing at least once, but the big screen isn't necessary for casual movie-goers.
