The movie stars Matt Damon (All the Pretty Horses, Courage Under Fire), Emily Blunt (Sunshine Cleaning, Gideon's Daughter), Terrance Howard (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Alien Nation I thnk), Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker, 8 Mile), John Slattery (Mad Men tv, Traffic).
Damon and Blunt are destin to be together. The only problem the Adjustmet Bureau in an attempt to keep both of there destinies on track must assure that they wont get together. There is time in there past whe they are suspose to be together but that was in the past, I think that is a flaw in the plot line but thats just me, they were suspose to get together but not now. I would of prefered to hear why they arent suspose to be together.
I rated the movie as a C+. At times I would say its a must see but on the whole I cant quiet say you have to go and see the movie. Its ok but not a must see. There are parts of the movie that reminded me of Quatum Leap TV, "to put right what once went wrong," What Dreams May Come, soul mates people who are suspose to be together, and an episode of the 1980's episode of the The Twighlight Zone, the episode where a character sees the people who build the world suspose to be invisible.. It did not bother me that it reminded me of other things for some reason.
The Bureau is an interisting organization. kind of a variation of Men In Black. They are "angels" and work for the Chairman who is hinted to be God. There are checks and ballances placed on the agents which I though was interisting. They have been around for ages and live longer then people. The bureau has a hirearchy, and limits on the "damage" they can cause before passing the decisions up the chain of command. There is also an nice scene of when the agents tried to back off and let free will take over, the down side of that were the dark ages, a few World Wars and The Cuban Missle Crisis.
