Is there free will? This is an interesting take on the question. If you don't follow "the plan" then there is a whole team of adjusters giving you a bump, or a nudge, or spilling coffee on you to make you look the other way so you don't see that one thing that will change your life path. Reminiscent of Sliding Doors where one innocent decision will drastically affect your life, here we get to watch as those decisions are "helped along". Unfortunately, our protagonist (Matt Damon) doesn't take to the nudging, even when he is confronted with the truth of how things work. Can you fight destiny? Well, Damon fights and I won't spoil the film by telling you if he his successful. But I will say that after all is said and done, this film raises quite a few great discussion points about the nature of God and how God might/might not interact in this world.
