In Time

In Time takes place in a futuristic world where time is money, and few have the minutes to spare.  Justin Timberlake plays Will Salas, a guy who finds himself on the receiving end of a great amount of fortune.  But careless spending makes him the primary suspect in a murder investigation.  Now he is on the run with a hostage who could prove vital in his attempt to thwart the system.

Director Andrew Niccol did a miraculous job at crafting a universe unlike anything we have ever seen before.  Where a cup of coffee can cost you four minutes, a bus ride three, and a soda a mere two and a half, the world inside In Time is that of both the glorious chorus of heaven and the pit fires of hell.

Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried team up in a Bonnie and Clyde style of crime; though this time around the pair are working to better the world by garnering everyone their rightful access to more minutes.

The film itself isn't made for much thinking.  The story progresses evenly as we witness our two vigilantes attempt to overturn the system and bring a sense of peace to those who struggle in their day to day life.  The action takes front and center during much of the film, leaving little characterization and plot development.  But then again, what did you expect?

The bonus features on the disc aren't anything special as you are introduced to a few deleted scenes and the origins to the time based society.  Neither improve on the movie itself, leaving the feature the sole reason to purchase this film.  In Time was made for the young male crowd, and does well at delivering for that market.  For the rest of you, a rental will suffice.
