The Adjustment Bureau



This science fiction thriller stars Matt Damon and Emily Blunt in a film based on a short-story by Philip K. Dick. The characters live in a time when lives are pre-planned.  When an individual deviates from their prescribed life plan, agents of the Adjustment Bureau are sent to make corrections.  It's a good story of  a programed life versus free-will in the life of a politician (Damon) whose life is going smooth until he meets a dancer (Blunt) who is not a part of his life plan.  This is an action movie but Matt Damon is no Jason Bourne in this film. The plot was very simple once you understand the basic primace.  I liked it.  In some ways it was like the other films based on Dick's novels or short stories which include Blade Runner, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkley to name a few. Dick was a good friend of Timothy Leary, the college professor and LSD advocate.
