Promised more than it delivered.

Rating: 6/10 (14 September 2013)

The concept of the film had great potential. Granted this isn't a new idea of time = money, but with the people that are connected to it, I had hoped for something quite clever. I was disappointed.
I really enjoy clever films that on the face of it are simplistic, but if you put thought into it, it's a clever comment on society. District 13 is a great example of this, sadly In Time isn't.
From the beginning, the film comes at you straight on with no subtly at all. They are living day to day as many in the world do and near the end of the film they even say "there's enough to go around...". Also everything that you expect to happen does: mum doesn't quite make it to son, bad guy loses the fight, girl and guy survive etc.
I'm being very critical though. There were some interesting moments that draw you in and at some points you do care about the fate of the characters.
Altogether, I'd say watch it if you want to watch something that doesn't require any thought, but don't watch it if you enjoy something with a bit of substance.
