Based on the short story “Adjustment Team” by Philip K. Dick and adjusted for the big screen by George Nolfi, this is one fun chase scene after another. If you look further into the story, you can find layers of deeper meaning that are thinly veiled from the viewer. However, the superficial story of lovers destined to be together and assisted by friends from another reality is quite enough to carry this movie.
Looking closely at this film, you will notice that many of the people are not actors, but actually politicians and other famous people. However, the filmmakers selected just the right actors to play the characters, and the actors do not overwhelm the characters they are playing; so, you imagine yourself as part of the story and find yourself kibitzing.
I missed this at the theater but did pick it up on Blu-ray and the DVD that I watched, which had a few interesting extras, such as:
Deleted and extended scenes
The labyrinth of doors: interactive map of New York
Leaping through New York
Destined to be
Becoming an Elide
Feature Commentary with/Director George Nolfi
Also included are extras or things like:
My scenes
D-box
I have to confess that I only took advantage of the commentaries. There are no new insights, but it is nice to know what Nolfi was thinking.
