The Adjustment Bureau (The Agents of Destiny)



Based on a short story by Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner, Minority Report, Paycheck), The Adjustment Bureau is a science fiction story that is mixed with a romantic history to result in a film that despite the good intentions of his rookie director (George Nolfi), fails to meet expectations in any of addressing gender.

political career of David Norris (Matt Damon) is booming and his popularity and talent are about to take to occupy an important position in the United States Senate, but his personal life is in freefall largely emotional vacuum which crosses. It is just then when David meets Elise (Emily Blunt) by chance of fate and feel that your life takes on new meaning. This meeting is to take David to discover the existence of a group of men wearing coat and hat, whose job is to direct the destiny of human beings. These individuals shall strive to do everything possible to avoid the political fall in love with Elise, since the relationship not only goes against the plans they had planned for him, but also jeopardizes his political future. From this realization, the main character faces a dilemma between choosing a predetermined path that holds professional achievements and satisfactions an uncertain future where the only thing certain is that will stand the love of his life.

Much of the film works thanks to the great chemistry between the protagonists. No doubt that Matt Damon and Emily Blunt are an excellent dumbbell and contributions achieved complete the film worthwhile. Beyond that, the story simple and simply fails to convince entirely. One is left hoping that the script much further in the nature of these mysterious men who control the lives of humans and are capable of defying the laws of space to move from one point to another, but none of this happens and in my of view, this should have been a key element in the development of the film. All players roll the destination the ¨ ¨ is treated very superficially to achieve focus more on the romantic the film, making one as a spectator ends with a lot of unanswered questions and unknowns.

As to his credit, the film invites reflection on the existence of free will or free choice. There is a phrase that says that everyone is the architect of his own destiny, but really is this true or will we live in a world similar to the movie in which one believes to be the architect, but someone else is controlling our lives and making us believe that our decisions can have an impact on the course of destiny? I think The Adjustment Bureau is one of those cases where the main idea is interesting, but the execution leaves much to be desired and check to lose what could have been a smarter film and round. Recommended for some fun entertainment.
