Director: George Nolfi
Stars: Matt Damon, Emily Blunt
David (Damon) and Elise (Blunt) randomly meet-- and fall for each other in about 5 minutes. But he doesn't get her last name or her number. A few months later, they see each other again on a bus, and this time he excitedly gets her number. But that second meeting wasn't supposed to happen. He wasn't supposed to get her number, and he wasn't supposed to get to work on time. When he arrives on time, he discovers a bunch of men in suits have stopped time, and are "brainwashing" his coworkers! Terrified, he runs. The men catch him, and that's when he discovers the Bureau, a group of men who work for a mysterious "Chairman", making sure everybody follows "the plan" for their lives.
They tell David that Elise wasn't in his plan, and he must never contact her; they take her number from him to make sure this doesn't happen. They swear him to secrecy, telling him if he ever reveals them, they will wipe his brain clean. (Yikes!) But David knows Elise is special, and rides that same bus every day for 3 years until he finds her again.
But the Bureau is still out to stop them from being together, so they have to fight for their future.
SPOILER: I don't like how the guys are compared to angels, and the "Chairman" to God, kind of making God seem very controlling and erasing free will completely. But I think it ends well, and I really enjoyed watching it.
