An amazing thriller

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2011)

This film is about a world in which people stop aging after 25 years old. It sounds great, except they only have a year more to live unless they earn more time.
"In Time" is a great thriller that keeps me on edge all the time. The story starts right from the beginning without wasting any time, and throughout the film it's one race after another against time. There is so much urgency and thrill, keeping the adrenaline going.
It is thought provoking as well. Using time as currency, the race to make ends meet is agonisingly intense. People who are poor (not much time left) may not even have time to earn more money on the clock. It highlights and magnifies the problem of poverty. The contrast between the rich and poor is very well portrayed. Another message is to live life fully, as every second literally counts.
It would have been satisfying to see the film explain what adverse effect would follow Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried's actions, but I guess we have to wait for the sequel to find out. And I am definitely waiting for a sequel.
