Like many Sci-Fi thrillers before it The Adjustment Bureau plays with the conflict between predestination and free will. And it has a lot of fun tossing a few ideas while Matt Damon and Emily Blunt are chased across New York by the adjusters of fate. But it doesn’t even try to arrive at a conclusion. This is not a deeply philosophical movie, and it doesn’t even pretend to be one; it is a pulpy action/romance movie and it enjoys playing with the implications of these genres.
