Blu-Ray Review: Matt Damon, Emily Blunt in ‘The Adjustment Bureau’
Submitted by BrianTT on July 5, 2011 - 11:21amCHICAGO – “The Adjustment Bureau” was a surprising success in a season full of them (“Hanna,” “Source Code,” “Win Win,” more), earning strong reviews and breaking $100 million worldwide.
