Starring Justin Timberlake, Cillian Murphy, Amanda Seyfried, Alex Pettyfer
For years there's been speculation of a Logan's Run remake. This could take the stand for the time being.
In a future where time is a currency and where it's limited after the age of twenty five, Will Salas is put on the road of trying to bring down the system after he is given a century to his life line.
Along the way he bumps into Sylvia Wiess, daughter of a time keeping conglomerate who loans time out yet manages to have a huge stack himself.
And then there are the Time Keepers headed by Raymond Leon who are now tracking down the two as they are stealing from the rich and heading straight for the time deprived.
So it's a sci-fi Bonnie and Clyde.
In Time isn't as shiny as it claims to be. There are novel ideas which are pulled off, but as an action film it only does the job half way. Cillian Murphy attempts to do what he can, but I can't help but feel if he would have done better having fun instead of being straight about it all. In tradition of Hollywood the villain is played by a British actor. Here Alex Pettyfer is a standard gangster.
If anything it's Justin Timberlake who gets credit. He blends well with the entire film. If only because they both play it safe.
3/5
