The Adjustment Bureau - Better than the trailer makes it look! 

I saw the trailer to the Adjustment Bureau and thought it looked more like a romantic drama! Luckily, for the story, the romance part of it isn't the central theme and it's even necessary to the story.

Matt Damon is the youngest man trying to be elected as a Senator in the American elections. Before he's due to give an important speech, he bumps into a lady (Emily Blunt) who he falls for. However, apparently he was never meant to meet her and there are sinister powers who will go to any lengths to stop them ever meeting again.

The front cover of the film sums it up as `The Boune Identify meets Inception.' Yes, I couldn't put it much better than that. It's a chase film with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt being pursued by people (albeit sci-fi baddies rather than moral government agents) and trying to sort the mess out.

If you like chase films or sci-fi, give it a go. There's no Oscar winning performances here, but there is a lot of fun and , without giving away too much of the plot, it's a good overall premise which gives you enough questions to talk about after the credits have rolled.

8/10 The Force is definitely strong with this one
