"The Adjustment Bureau" is a 2011 film directed by George Nolfi. I believe the film is loosely based on a book/short story called "The Adjustment Team" by Philip K.Dick, although I have not read this, so you won't find any comparisons within this review. The DVD that I borrowed contained several bonus ... Read the complete review

I first saw this film when it came out in the cinema and have since bought a copy of DVD. It came out around the time a few other similar-ish films were released and it didn't particularly stand out to me at the time. Having found it in the 2 for £10 deal in HMV, and in need of a second film, I decided to buy it and watch it ... Read the complete review

I saw this at the cinema when it was first released in March last year. However this week I saw the DVD for £3.00 so decided to buy it and watch again. I remember seeing the trailer before it was released and thinking it looked like a really clever film presenting what to me looked like a completely new original idea. The film is a ...

For some reason I watched this at the cinema, thinking it may have been a cross between the Bourne films and some quirky Matrix / fate type thing. Unfortunately, it turned out to be more of a love fest that I became bored by within 10 minutes. The Adjustment Bureau was written and directed by George Nolfi, who also did writing ...

Emily Blunt makes one heck of a damsel in distress. There is just something so likable and relatable about her. You want the male hero to end up saving her whenever she's in trouble. She has vulnerability, but she's not all about the loud screaming and constant whining that slow down our male protagonist. She carries plenty of ... Read the complete review

When I first saw the poster for this movie, I immediately brushed past it thinking it wasn't a film I would enjoy that much. This is because I saw Matt Damon and I was expecting something very Bourne-esque, but boy was I wrong. I took a closer look at this movie, noticing that Emily Blunt was also in and it had an element of romance to ... Read the complete review

The Adjustment Bureau is one of life's little disappointments. Promising much, it brushes past some interesting ideas, but ultimately leaves them behind on the shelf. To complete a mixed and muddled metaphor, carries on walking by on the other side. Indeed, mixed and muddled is a rather apt description of the whole film which ... Read the complete review
