I saw The Adjustment Bureau this weekend. Light spoilers follow:
Acting? Superb. Everyone was well cast.
Plot premise? Excellent.
Execution? Horribly disappointing. My biggest problem with the movie (and its a doozie) there are no bad guys. The movie goes out of its way to make the Agents of Fate likable. Just doing a tough job, nothing personal.
Nothing interesting, either. What could have been an amazing movie falls short due to an obvious unwillingness on the part of the film’s makers to take any real chances or piss anybody off by following through on the many implications the plot throws out, but then leaves by the wayside.
Conclusion: Flawed, enjoyable enough, but flawed.
