I don't know that I'd say the Adjustment Bureau "isn't action." It looks pretty action-packed to me.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Jake Gyllenhaal in the time-travel one
Donnie Darko had time-travelly elements, so it's not new ground for him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, the ads are a lot of running around, but (without having seen it), I think it's actually a romance?
Really, what I mean is these movies seem 90% non-sci-fi -- I mean, it's not Demolition Man or whatever.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 described The Adjustment Bureau as Philip K Dick + romantic comedy. I'm not sure where they got the comedy part from, but it's at least the aspiration of love to overcome the big bad forces of fate.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I liked "Adjustment Bureau." Less of an action story and more of romance fighting obstacles in alternate universe.

A friend of mine directed a documentary called "Orgasm Inc." about how drug companies are trying to profit from "female sexual dysfunction". It's funny, provocative, yadda yadda yadda. But it's not yet on Netflix. If this sounds like a movie you'd like to see, and you have Netflix, please save it to your queue. The more people who add it, the more likely it is that Netflix will get it. [link]
