Worth watching when you have the time

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2015)

I enjoyed watching this, I did not know much about it beforehand, only read a brief plot outline here on IMDb.
It has a great idea -- using time as currency instead of dollars, and a great story. The music soundtrack could have been better though, it was not that great and did not add to the film when a good soundtrack was really needed to add to the suspense or emotion.
So here we see how people in the future are manipulated into providing for the rich and the elite, much like today's world. They have to pay for everything using time out of their own life. They have a countdown timer on their arm which shows how much time they have left. Go to work, earn some hours, need some food, spend some hours. And so the elite get to live forever, as science has found a way to stop people ageing, and it is all at the expense of the poor.
They keep putting up the prices of everything so that the poor will die sooner -- otherwise overpopulation, in the opinion of the rich.
Definitely worth watching, but with a better soundtrack it could have more emotion.
