All I have are the choices that I make and I choose her.".

Plot/Summary,Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us? Matt Damon stars in the thriller The Adjustment Bureau as a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he's ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York. On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt)--a woman like none he's ever known. But just as he realizes he's falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart. David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself--the men of The Adjustment Bureau--who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path...or risk everything to defy Fate and be with her. The Adjustment Bureau is written for the screen and directed by George Nolfi (writer of Ocean's Twelve, co-writer of The Bourne Ultimatum). It is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick ("Total Recall," "Minority Report" and "Blade Runner"). -- (C) Universal Pictures.

My Review.

I control the destiny of your motion pictures but there is one motion picture that did not follow the destiny I wrote for it,it surpassed its expectations. Based on the book The Adjustment Team The Adjustment Bureau is an amazing journey to knowing who decides our fates us or the people who think control our destiny. It revolves around a senator named David Norris who meets a women named Elise one night and falls in love with her. One day when David comes strolling through the park he was suppose to have spilled his coffee he didn't and went on a bus and saw Elise once again when he wasn't suppose to causing the book to change somehow. He eventually meets Elise once again in three years when the Adjustment Team said he will probably never see her again so they chase Norris away from Elise at all costs overall, I thought the movie was very enjoyable and if your a person who loves movies that are thrillers romantic and something above the lines of fate and destiny then I recommend you see this amazing Motion picture.
