'Limitless' and 'The Adjustment Bureau' recommendation

Caught both of these on blu-ray this week. Each was much better than I had thought they would be. Smart movies, good script, good production values. I particularly liked 'The Adjustment Bureau'.

We're not talking 'Citizen Kane' here but these are both intelligent movies that are more 'adult' oriented than you would think.

Both are well worth a rental.

Blunt and Damon had EXCELLENT chemistry.

  (well, 2 hours of it) watching this pic whilst the ribs were smoking.
  I gotta say bad does not describe it well at all. It was actually very engaging and at least Adj Bureau's equal. Not faint praise at all.

  whereas "Limitless" was ground in reality. Perhaps you aren't comfortable with fantasy (bad dreams?).

  'Transformers 3'?
  
  Did it not have enough giant robots?
  
  The script was tight and coherent. The characters were engaging and believable. It was an original take on a Philip K. Dick story, something that is nice to see.
  
  Emily Blunts performance was wonderful.
  
  It was an unusual movie. An adult science fiction movie that was not an 'action' movie. We need more of these.

      How about, 'of the two, I feel Limitless is the far better movie'.
      I don't think so myself, but I wouldn't argue with people do think that. I would give a slight edge to 'TAB', but it's close.
      'Limitless' was a strong movie. I particularly liked the ending, which is always tricky with this kind of movie.

...good DVD recommendations but Adjustment Bureau is the better of the two.
