The Adjuster poster & wallpaper

Armen Kokorian, Arsinée Khanjian, David Hemblen

Insurance adjuster Noah (Elias Koteas) works with people who have suffered the loss of their homes and other disasters. He gets a little too involved with his clients, taking advantage of the...( read more  read more... )ir vulnerability to control their lives--while only having the most glancing interactions with his own wife, Hera (Arsinee Khanjian), who secretly videotapes the porn films she watches for a government censor board. When another couple (Maury Chaykin and Gabrielle Rose) poses as part of a film crew who want to use Noah and Hera's house, Noah moves his family into the motel where he houses his displaced clients, bringing his separate worlds too close together. Though initially mysterious and distanced, The Adjuster builds carefully to a striking sense of loss and sorrow. As in his earlier films, Canadian auteur Atom Egoyan explores how people evade and contain the traumas in their lives. --Bret Fetzer

    Great combination of sound, plot and characters. While it seems to be meant as an unsettling film, I found it to be quite inviting. Yes it's bizarre, but it has a very realistic quality about it (even though the characters were incredibly phony) that is true to life. It's a great...( read more) piece of film making and a unique style.

    Delightfully creepy and disturbing. Maybe Atom Egoyan's best.

    Oh, Atom Egoyan, what is going on in your head? Between him and David Cronenberg, I'm a little concerned what's going on in the Great White North. Definitely not a movie for everyone, but for those who enjoy Egoyan's work, a strong, complex, challenging movie. It wasn't until ...( read more)this movie that it struck me how much like a young Robert DeNiro does Elias Koteas resemble, and he's just as great an actor, as is Maury Chaykin, one of those character actors who has an instantly recognizeable face and always adds a sly gravitas to his role.
