Very interesting concept (never read the short story). Good execution. Good acting. Drama but not an on the edge of your seat spellbinder. Not too slow or fast. Good date flick. Love the wardrobe. Enjoyed watching John Slattery (Roger Sterling from Mad Men).

I could easily see this as a made for TV movie that will eventually turn into a TV series with the Bureau members played by permenant actors and guest stars playing the role of those who deviate from the plan or need an adjustment.

Take a date during matinee prices or just wait for the rental.

    The movie was compelling until the end. At the end I was expecting Morgan Freeman to step out and introduce himself as God. I felt the final scene was completely tacked on.

    I was interested in this but I saw it given 1.5 stars. I was shocked they would do this to a move with A big star like Damon. I'll see it "OnDemand".

    We went and saw it last night, and I really liked it. It wasn't perfect, but was overall a good movie. It's pretty much in line with the other recent Phillip K Dick stuff like Minority Report and Paycheck. Its not those movies, but if you really liked those then you might like this one, if you hated both of those then you probably won't like this one, and if you're split on those two then who knows...

    An interesting small history on Phillip K Dick. May be NSFW due to language so here's the link.
