Review of In Time (2011) by Antony G — 16 Nov 2012
What a shame a film with an original idea turns out to be a disappointment. In this day & age of re-makes & sequels it was refreshing a movie came along with an original concept. Sadly the film lacks substance & no real storyline instead tripping along from one misfiring action sequence to the next.
In the future the human race stops ageing at 25 but with a catch, you only get to live for another year. So, quite literally time becomes the new currency with everyone working to earn time as well as beg, steal or borrow time just to survive another day. Justin Timberlake has a heart breaking moment seeing his mother's time run out moments before he can transfer any time to her. This tragic event leads Timberlake down the path to bring the system to its knees as he goes on a rampage to steal as much time as possible & give it back to the population.
