Story might sound silly at first, but it is executed credibly. Unsentimental portrayal of survival of the poor. Good acting, suspenseful story and beautiful photography.

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2019)

I had my doubts when I read about this story in which people all die after the age of 25, unless they start paying big money to add more years to their short lives. Did sound silly to me, but I am glad I tried watching it anyway, because however silly and futuristic this story may sound, it is directed, acted and photographed with impressive suspense and credibility.
The futuristic settings are run down and gloomy, without any scifi stuff. I liked that look a lot. It's basically a portrait of almost the same society we live in nowadays, only a few decades ahead.The story is a portrayal of the survival of poor people in society, who cant afford to live much longer than 25 years old. Justin Timberlake is one of them. The rich can buy time to prolong their lives, the poor can't. But by accident Justin Timberlake gets the chance to live a hundred years, while his poor family and friends are about to die soon. What will he do with the long life he has been given?
Without being depressive or sentimental about this struggle between the poor and the rich, this movie is quite suspenseful, with enough riveting action. It is also quite an impressive emotional character driven story with really good acting by Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. This movie is definitely a bit better than one would judge by it's cover. Not a terrific movie, but a very decent action / light drama flick.
