In Time (2011)

the story was set in the far future, where genetic alteration caused humans to stop aging by the age of 25. every extra "time" after the age of 25 had to be earned through labor, else their life would come to an end after 1 year. due to the over populated concern, the poor who lived in the Ghettos had to fight for a living; where the rich who lived in Greenwich, could live for centuries a luxurious life. Will lived with his mother, Rachel, in the Ghettos. he visited the bar one day and met with Henry from Greenwich. Henry revealed that there were actually enough time for everyone, even for those in the Ghettos if the rich from Greenwich wouldn't be so greedy. before committed suicide, Henry transferred all his remaining time to Will. with the Timekeeper from the police force and mobsters on his tail, Will decided to seek revenge by paying Greenwich a visit.

the plot was original and brilliant! instead of cash, we were introduced on how their time was used in everyday life, in paying for necessities, or earning for extra time. the pace was from time to time random, but it remained suspenseful throughout the film. Justin Timberlake had quite a number of failing acts in his previous films, In Time (2011) however, managed to bring him up onto the big screen without further jeopardizing his acting career, which turned out to be a huge relief for us viewers. Amanda Seyfried on the other hand, surprised us in her changed character other than her usual blond sweetie role! she was fierce, she was spicy, she definitely fit the role of a daughter whom a rich father cannot control. there were one fact that we were particularly confused though, with everyone stopped aging at the age of 25, why did the police officers, Timekeepers, even the mobsters looked so old?
