Original and inventive sci-fi thriller that becomes an okay action movie

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2014)

I absolutely loved the premise of this inventive sci-fi thriller. The movie itself was just okay, taking on a "Bonnie and Clyde/Robin Hood" vibe while still remaining intriguing enough with the time gimmick and a lot of action scenes.
Set in a future where time is the currency, people stop aging at 25 and then must purchase more time in order to stay alive, which gives a whole new meaning to the class system. Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) is targeted by the "Timekeepers" (Cillian Murphy) after he is gifted time by a wealthy suicidal old man (Matt Bomer), putting him on the run as they think he stole the time.
The story idea felt very original and a little trippy at times because everyone looks the same age, fathers-daughters-grandparents etc. And while this did peter out into just an okay action movie I thought about the "time is currency" idea for days afterwards. 11.13
