Matt Damon gets adjusted and Louie CK gets lucky (again)
This week's best new releases on DVD are filed under " Action/Thriller ". I loved loved loved 'The Adjustment Bureau' . It was marketed as an action movie, and there is some running around, but it's really a great romantic drama with some scifi-y bits thrown in to advance the narrative. Matt Damon (the 'Bourne' movies et al) plays a young Congressman from Brooklyn running for Senate. He's idealistic and charismatic with a passionate ambition driven by family tragedy. Somehow though, he keeps managing to make critical judgment errors at crucial moments. Then one night he meets a gorgeous dancer, played by British actress Emily Blunt ('Devil Wears Prada'), who inspires him to give the most important and authentic speech of his career. She just as quickly disappears without giving her name or number and if it weren't for a chance encounter on a bus, they may never have met again. That's when things get crazy.
Damon sees things he shouldn't see and suddenly he's introduced to The Adjustment Bureau - a mysterious group of men in hats who make sure that "the plan" stays on course. Damon is supposed to become President, but his chance second encounter with Blunt is just enough of the butterfly in the jungle to mess things up. Damon is informed that he must never see Blunt again, but he refuses to give in and devotes his time and energy to finding her. Here's what I loved about this movie. Damon and Blunt are outrageously likable. You want to hang out with them. You want to hang out with them hanging out with each other. The Bureau is the device that's keeping them apart and it represents an anti-love, anti-free will, calculating machine that determines everyone's fate. But the thing is, you want Damon to be with Blunt, but you also want him to be President. In a way, you understand The Bureau's motivation.
The first-time director, George Nulfi, has made his living as a screenwriter ('Bourne Ultimatum', 'Ocean's Twelve') and what a refreshing change it makes to have story be the most important part of a genre film. He does a great job taking the Philip K. Dick short story and adapting it to give us just enough background on The Bureau to "get it" but not too much to slow down the narrative flow or take the focus away from the central characters. A great cast, a great love story and a really great film. Here's the date night movie to please both gender stereotypes. Dig it!
