You won't be disappointed!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I found it highly entertaining. Haven't seen a scenario like this before. Action packed.
Well executed. I'd watch it again.

This movie presents us a world in which money no longer exist. Instead, they have been replaced with time itself. People are genetically engineered to stop aging at 25 after which they get another year. This, of course, means that poor people have very short lives and rich people can live forever. In this world, Will struggles to live day after day, being supported only by his mother. After she dies and he gets over a century from a person who wanted to die, he decides to take revenge on the system. Shortly after, he finds Sylvia, daughter of a very rich person who hasn't enjoyed a single day of her life. She elects to betray her father, and join Will on his quest, but things aren't going to be very easy as The Timekeeper and local mafia are on their tail.The whole concept is quite interesting although I have my doubts on how such a system could have been implemented when stealing or giving time is so simple. In some aspects, it's similar to "Robin Hood" but you don't end up feeling anything for the characters, which is a bit disappointing. Its plot is good but unfortunately too linear and has some flaws which can be spotted if you pay some attention to details. Overall, I can say it's a good movie but its rating has one or two points added just because of its action and its idea of time replacing money.

In a future dystopia where people are genetically manipulated to not get older than 25, the currency is units of time, where literally "time is money". From the age of 25 people have to work to gain more lifetime or risk their time coming to an end, that is, dying. This means that the rich can live virtually eternally while the poor have to do whatever they can to earn just a few more hours of life.The concept is interesting but poorly explored, because the film focuses more on action than on the philosophical and socio-cultural implications of the system, and of course, there are some flaws in the plot: why are there no mobile phones? How does someone who spends most of the day working in a factory his so proficient at martial arts? Being the currency a digital watch embedded in the arm, why is there no crypto-mechanism that prevents people from being so easily stolen from their time? And a few more things that only seen because it's hard to put it in words. Interesting concept barely delivered but good action entertainment with Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and Cillian Murphy.

I avoided this movie because I judged a book by it's cover. Sci-fi action thriller where the minutes and hours of your life are literally currency that people will kill for. That sounds interesting, oh but it's got Justin Timberlake in it. No thanks. I was wrong. Not only does the fast paced plot keep you fully engaged but JT holds his own, Amanda S does her thing and Cillian Murphy steals the show. It's well written, well acted and wonderfully directed. The visuals are soo good that you could turn off the sound and watch it.
