In Time (2011) 7/10

Starring : Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Cillian Murphy
Director : Andrew Niccol
Running Time : 106 mins

In a world where everyone stops ageing at twenty-five but is forced to purchase additional time to continue living, Will Salas (Timberlake) finds himself accused of murder and is forced to go on the run - taking a young woman named Sylvia Weis (Seyfried) as a hostage - to prevent himself from losing what little life he has left to him.

This actually wasn’t half bad. I felt like a Philip K Dick story but is actually an original story by writer / director Andrew Niccol, which is rare in this day and age of remakes, sequels, and movies based on little known novels. Timberlake and Seyfried may not be that impressive in terms of acting skills in this, but the action and plotline really manage to push the story forward on their own.
