The Adjustment Bureau

I just screened this film and talked to the director, George Nolfi and co-star, Anthony Mackie. Nolfi is known best for his writing for The Bourne Ultimatum & Ocean's Twelve.

This is his first attempt at writing, directing, & producing a film...and it's not a bad 1st shot.

The film is about the human battle of fate versus free will. The adjustment bureau, a team of people who are seen as a step above humans, will gladly "adjust" situations in your life to ensure you follow the plan the Chairman has laid out for you.

There were distinct similarities between this film and The Matrix, a film the director says is one of his favorites, but different.

Overall, the movie was good. There was some cute comedy written for Matt Damon's character which does add a little more entertainment than The Matrix.

I would say go check it out...as long as you don't mess with your fate. :-)
