Review of In Time (2005) by Liam C — 05 Apr 2013
The extremely low tomatometer score really does mystify me. It featured a highly original intriguing concept that is not only smart and poignant, it is totally emotionally immersive because any one of these characters could die at any moment and they almost certainly will.
It is also executed well by Niccol who has provided audiences with good films about the evilness of technology, with the lone exception being Lord of War. What I like about this, one of the many things I like about it, is, it is not predictable and nothing that happens, happens because of a coincidence and those are two of my most hated things in film and this film had neither.
It also had good cast with good characters to work with, that featured a believable amount of development, where the relationships between characters feel natural as opposed to 'oh you're the good guy, so I'm gonna just follow you now'.
Justin Timberlake provides a very compelling central character. With the overall theme of desperation I was expecting a much darker ending, but thats just me, accompanied by clear visuals and chilling soundtrack, 'In Time' is a very compelling tale.
