Plot: In the not-too-distant future the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest try to negotiate for their immortality. A poor young man who comes into a fortune of time, though too late to help his mother from dying. He ends up on the run from a police force known as ‘time keepers’
Review: A disturbingly good film great plot and acting I actually liked Justin Timberlake in this one, more than a passing resemblance to the Bonnie and Clyde story of a couple on the run robbing banks, but instead of money they are stealing time.
Right from the beginning you know exactly what is happening and the problems they face, you cotton on early on how weird it is for everyone to look the same age, as Rachel Salas {Wilde] looks the same age as her son Will [Timberlake] yet she is 50! Also the plot is set early on when Rachel “Times out” seconds before meeting up with her son who has just been given a century by someone who has “lived to long”
He then crosses time zones looking for the people responsible for the time .
He is then pursued by the Time Keepers lead by Cillian Murphy a great young actor who ads smouldering anger and angst to the film, no matter how much Salas gives him the run-around time keeper Leon keeps his cool.
He soon comes across Raymond Leon who is the time equivalent of a multi billionaire Will is introduced to his Daughter [Amanda Seyfried], wife and mother-in-Law who, you got it, look 25! Freaky it’s like some kind of nightmare.
It only when Timberlake and Seyfried get together that the film kicks off and it comes into its own, a great film with a scary them fantastic all rounder, with more emphesis on the characters than the scenery oh and was great to see Johnny Galecki, Leonard
10/10 awesome film, definitely worth a second and third watch.
