Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

arthur_tafero This film should have been titled The Sterile Cuckoo, but that title had already been taken by another film. Atom Egoyan tries to get away from the mundane life of an insurance adjuster by adding kinky to the film every ten minutes or so. The formula falls short. It is different; and the kinky scenes are interesting, but not interesting or explored enough to alleviate the boredom of the basic plot. I enjoyed the scenes of the only professional actor in the film, Maury Chaykin (Dances With Wolves), as a very convincing pervert. However, the rest of the acting crew was strictly local theater troupe level. Not really recommended.

identity111 Agree with the previous post.. this film is extraordinary and I'm amazed at the negative reactions here. I would rate it as my favourite film of all..It's an incredible and subtle meditation on what means to be alive, to be human, to love. To be human and to be confronted by this fragmented, alienating, disturbing modern existence .. with our lives and interactions largely filtered through technology and our experiences so far removed from those of our ancestors and those before.I was provoked and amazed by this piece of work - and I'd urge anyone who wants to be challenged to see it.James

AnnaGraham This film gave me the creeps. I guess some people like that in a film, and of course that is their prerogative. Sometimes a creepy film will have enough intrigue in other ways to keep my interest and appreciation, but this was not the case with the Adjuster. I almost turned it off because it was making me dread what would happen next. The music made me nervous and I found the characters' neuroses neither amusing nor interesting. In fact, I thought the characters were quite flat in spite of their quirks.

Infofreak 'The Adjuster' is my fourth Atom Egoyan movie and on my first viewing I wasn't as impressed as I expected to be. A second more thoughtful viewing of it made me appreciate it a lot more. I still don't think it's as good as 'The Sweet Hereafter' or 'Felicia's Journey', but I still recommended it for those looking for something unusual and thought provoking. Egoyan makes very subtle and somewhat slow movies and they can sometimes be quite difficult viewing, but they are worth the effort. Once again he uses a fine ensemble cast and an uncliched approach to story telling, but once you get into the swing of it you'll be hooked. Elias Koteas ('Crash', 'The Prophecy', 'Gattaca') is a most underrated actor and his performance here as Noah an enigmatic insurance adjuster is utterly brilliant. Maury Chaykin ('Devil In A Blue Dress', 'Money For Nothing', 'Jerry And Tom') plays a wealthy ex-football player who crosses Noah's path and is also exceptional. Their complex performances make the movie for me. I also really liked the small supporting role by Don McKellar ('Roadkill', 'eXistenZ', 'Last Night') as a wanna be film censor. All three actors would work with Egoyan on subsequent projects, most notably 'Exotica', my first Egoyan experience. Of his four movies I have seen to date I would rank them in order 1. 'The Sweet Hereafter' 2. 'Felicia's Journey' 3. 'Exotica' and 4. 'The Adjuster'. They are all very good movies and highly recommended. For beginner's 'Felicia's Journey' is probably the most accessible, but 'The Sweet Hereafter' is his masterpiece, and one of the most haunting movies of recent years. Egoyan may go on to make even better movies but until then it's fascinating to watch 'The Adjuster'.
