Matt Damon In The Adjustment Bureau
The Adjustment Bureau races its way onto Blu-ray Triple Play and DVD on July 4th starring Oscar winner Matt Damon and Emily Blunt.
David Norris (Damon) is an ambitious, well respected politician, on the verge of a landmark change in his life and a seat into the U.S Senate.
He is up in the polls and his campaign team, led by his trusted campaign manager Charlie Traynor (Michael Kelly; Changeling, Dawn of the Dead), have the highest of hopes for him.
A chance meeting sees Norris cross paths with Elise Sellas (Blunt), an aspiring contemporary ballet dancer with dreams of making it to the top of her field.
Norris has already glimpsed the future Fate has in store for him and realises he wants something very different. To get it he must win the affections of the only woman he has ever loved, whilst avoiding being intercepted by the agents of The Adjustment Bureau.
In another starring performance, Matt Damon once again proves his credentials as a modern day action hero - with sparkelling on-screen chemistry with Emily Blunt thrown in for good measure. As The Adjustment Bureau hits the shelves, what better time to celebrate these must-see Matt Damon films:
Good Will Hunting -1997
Matt’s breakthrough movie is as good today as it was more than twenty years ago. Damon plays a gifted mathematician with a massive attitude problem who is paired with psychologist Robin Williams to find direction in his life.
Academy Award nominated for his performance, he actually won the Oscar for his writing along with Ben Affleck.
Saving Private Ryan - 1998
His Oscar success was followed by a role as the eponymous hero in Steven Spielberg’s war epic.
Damon plays a paratrooper whose three brothers have been killed in Normandy and for whom a special mission is launched to bring him safely home. A groundbreaking film that help launch Matt’s blockbuster career.
The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum - 2002-07
Three for the price of one, this high-octane trilogy propelled Matt to action hero god status. As Jason Bourne, Damon spends his screen time trying to discover who he really is after a nasty bout of amnesia and boy is he angry about it.
With an Airmiles account to die for and an impressive collection of fake passports, Bourne is James Bond without the cocktails or corny one-liners.
Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen - 2001-07
Matt Damon, George Clooney and Brad Pitt together with a fantastic heist story made these the perfect date movie where both men and women left the cinema happy.
Matt would play a furtive pickpocket, essential in the preparation of the heist at the various casinos. Another trilogy from our man, Damon is nothing if not loyal to his directors!
The Informant - 2009
If your idea of the perfect Damon is the toned specimen from the Bourne movies, you might want to give this one a wide berth.
Matt piled on the pounds with a diet of burgers and beer to play Mark Whitacre, a middle manager who is given the chance to spy for the FBI and in the process create a whole web of lies.
Green Zone - 2010
Working again with his ‘Bourne’ director Paul Greengrass, Damon is a US soldier charged with finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in 2003.
Green Zone is a really under-rated tense thriller where Matt brings a humanity to his character in a world where humanity is in short supply.
True Grit - 2010
Damon turned in a fine performance in the Coen Brothers Oscar nominated remake of the John Wayne classic. Matt plays Texas Ranger LaBoeuf, a tough man in search of an even tougher quarry.
The only question is whether he will beat US Marshall Rooster Cogburn to the prize and win the heart of the young woman into the bargain. Damon is so manly he even manages to make a tasselled jacket look cool!
The Adjustment Bureau - 2011
Matt Damon stars as politician David Norris a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him but decides he wants something different - but to do that he has to battle the mysterious men of the Adjustment Bureau. It’s a thriller and it’s a love story-what’s not to like?
The Adjustment Bureau is on Blu-Ray Triple Play & DVD on July 4th
