My Film: 'The Adjustment Bureau' 8-3-11

I heard a description of the adjustment bureau which stated it as a combination between Bourne and Inception. Do not believe it. This film is no way near as good as the confusing yet brilliant Inception from Dark Knight Director, Christopher Nolan or Matt Damon's Bourne trilogy.

This film was entertaining and watchable but at the time that I was watching I was a tad bit sleepy so in fact missed about 10 minutes of film whilst asleep on my best friend shoulder. Opps! But according to my friend I missed very little action. The idea behind this film was good and with more action sequences and better dialogue then it could be brilliant. It had a lot of potential but the ending of the film left me wanting.

Without giving the ending away, I was dissapointed by the ending and the lack of narrative. As the casting goes, I personally love Matt Damon and found him brilliant in the role of Politician David Norris. Unfortunately whenever I see Matt Damon, a certain famous quote goes through my head from 'Team America: World Police'. Can you guess what it is? Matt Damon! Unfortunately, probably the most harmful things to happen to him. Matt Damon.

Emily Blunt? Brilliant1 I love Emily Blunt, I always have thought she was brilliant ever since I saw her in the Jane Austen book club. Since then, she has appeared in some fantastic films such as Sunshine Clearing, The Wolfman, Young Victoria and Wild Target. She is a rising star who I know will do great things in the future.

One last thing what is it about the hats? Why is the hat the key? I intend to test out the theory of the film, grab a hat, run through a door and try to enter a new place. Be right back, going to grab my trilby and run at my wardrobe...

5 MINUTES LATER... Ouch that didn't work. I would happily see this film again but would not necessarily buy it on DVD.

My Star Rating:

7.5/10 *
