Movie Overview: The Adjustment Bureau

Rating – On a scale of 1 to 10 [ 10 being the highest] thou deserveth an 8

Movie Strengths – Great cast & strong chemistry between the lead actors made the  film more believable.

Movie Weaknesses – This movie is a little slow for my taste, not enough action.

Final Thoughts - I had a feeling of Déjà vu all through out this movie and afterward it occurred to me...Adjustment Bureau IS VERY SIMILIAR TO THE MATRIX...miuns the intense action and stellar fight scenes. I never thought anyone was capable of reworking the Matrix plot but I guess I underestimated the strength of drugs people use nowadays j/k.
