In Time: Poor

Rating: 4/10 (16 April 2012)

The most disappointing aspect of this film is that it contains Cillian Murphy, this concept heavy piece is a tarnish on his record.
Also, Olivia Wilde was somewhat disappointing, she hasn't broken out an established role in film yet, which is a shame because she seems a capable actress.
The film itself is bewildering, Justin Timberlake steps down a rung with bitterly inane exchanges throughout and a penchant for including time catchphrases even when outside of dialogue, sense or reason. The film would work just as well if not better without Amanda Seyfried, and better still without Vincent Kartheiser.
Other than being a good metaphor for the class system, it doesn't extend the idea at all and just romps around proudly exalting the idea that people have LED wrists. For the film to be plausible it should have broached the origin of the clocks in everyones arms at the very beginning.
Another 'good concept, bad execution' film. Doesn't need watching.
