Out of time


In Time (2011)

Written and directed by Andrew Niccol this film stars Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and Cillian Murphy. In the future people are genetically engineered and can live forever but to live past 25 you have to earn time which is the main currency of the world.

I am a big fan of the work of Andrew Niccol but this film is not on par with his best work. What the film really lacks is deeper characters and while the premise is interesting I think it fails by relying on the notion that there are enough resources for everyone to live forever. When it comes to the performances I think it is fair to say that this film does not contain Justin Timberlake's best work either.

2/5
