Great premise, poor execution

Rating: 7/10 (12 July 2013)

Justin Timberlake does fine. I like him more as an actor than singer.
One of the film's interesting challenges was that no actor could look over 25. Therefore we have Justin Timberlake as Jason Statham, Amanda Siegfried as Winona Ryder and Cillian Murphy as Gary Cole. I like the movie until it became a "Natural Born Killers" buddy movie. So much could have been done with the premise and it became a cheap action film. Young writers please watch this and come up with a thoughtful version of this universe. I liked the idea of time merchants; Restaurants, hotels, pawn shops all running on a time profit. The idea of remaining time after death was also not explored. What about a government running on time? How are taxes collected/distributed? Fun stuff!
