SYNOPSIS
all have a default target , but very few come to know in advance. David Norris (Matt Damon), a politician who is about to become a senator of the United States , is one of those lucky-theoretically. A David not like what to expect in the future and makes it impossible to change it, while he falls for a beautiful contemporary dancer ( Emily Blunt). However, Office Setup brought his men among them to increasingly estranged. And, whatever happens, no one can change their destiny ... He?
CRITICISM
This film and The box with Cameron Diaz are quite similar in style films, intentions and end results: the front of the cast have one or several familiar faces (there was the aforementioned Cameron Diaz, here Matt Damon), the scripts are based on stories of great writers of science fiction (there Richard Matheson and Phillip K. Dick here ) and initial ideas are very attractive (where a box with a button chop that gave you money, but killing someone, here a mysterious organization that controls the fate of human beings). But the end result both matches to be considerably less bright than one might imagine.
Why misses hidden tricks in your favor and becomes a film so sterile? As if you can not say it's bad movie (not so) but, like the aforementioned film with Cameron Diaz , being based on a story SHORT expands the argument to cover the length standard a film, which turns into light and vivid highs and lows (and that is very noticeable when the story does not give more than yes, but is stretched as if it were a bubble gum) It is a pity, because the director takes the stale side by proposing resolution visual can remember an old episode of the series Twilight Zone (especially for those characters with hats, which seem spies mid-twentieth century) But there have worked in a synopsis of 30 minutes long, dilated just over an hour and a half turns into a film that shakes by different genres (romance, action, sci-fi, etc.) without supporting any.
The main couple is just right, because while Damon presents us with another standard interpretation (which in moments of action can vaguely remember their role in the Bourne saga ) the actress Emily Blunt looks beauty but little else brings to a character that borders on stereotype on many occasions. Also the resolution rookie director (his first movie so I've read by other sources) that the assumptions made time's most serious action we doubt if it was worth paying for something that resembles at times a visual level some anodyne TV movies rather than a film worth seeing on the big screen. Now what can cause more disagreement on the possible viewer of this film would be its final stretch with the doors "traveling" and hat "key" in a style that can remind the film Jumper, who can say that share both quality (for my adopted Justito) final result (not as good as it should on that basis) but seen from another point of view can even be the final stretch charm so reminiscent of the great old series as the aforementioned Twilight Zone.
And do not go into details of the final quote happy end, because it's getting late and could mistakenly include a spoiler, but let's say the general feeling it gives is easy to choose a resolution on the fly because somehow had to end (rather than risk, they could have done with more unexpected turns but may have then removed the film from the international circuits of consumption).
BEST: be seen, both by those looking for some science-fiction (although it has little) and those who go with your partner (for the romantic side of the story) while no settling of any subject gives the final result aseptic and inconsequential air.
WORST: The little justice that (probably) will keep to the original story, which I have not read. And they miss more than 90 minutes what would have been masterful in 30 (or 60)
