Time really IS money...

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2012)

I found this movie to not only be engaging, but refreshing in its originality. In an era where remakes and comic book story lines have been exhausted, it's nice to sit and watch something original. I was surprised at the number of negative reviews on this movie. I feel as though everything this movie attempted to address, it nailed. From the lack of balance and equality among the haves and have-nots, to the credible depiction of an age-old comparison of time and money- they do a fantastic job of taking something we've all thought about, and making into an entertaining, action packed, thought provoking movie.
I also think Timberlake brought the intensity that the role deserved and required, and I can't think of any actor that would have served the role better. He left nothing to be desired when it comes to bringing his character to life. The notion that for a few to be immortal, many must die is the crux of the film, and it subtly addresses that reality in our society using an imaginative story line. Great movie, and kudos for originality.
