Exciting movie but doomed concept.

Rating: 7/10 (3 December 2011)

This entire review might be a spoiler to the concept. But, if you like high-action movies, you'll probably enjoy it like I did. Still, the concept behind the society envisioned is on very shaky ground.
If prices keep rising, taxes keep rising, interest on loans keeps rising, but wages are kept low for the working class, this would inevitably lead to a halt in the production of "things" needed to keep the infrastructure in place (as workers "timed out"). Even before that, working class citizens would be less likely to "breed" children to replace them when the costs of raising a child became prohibitive.
If no one is around to produce food, generate electricity, and fix what breaks, the lifestyles of the super-rich would eventually take a giant nosedive. All Justin Timberlake's character does is speed up the process (with Amanda Seyfried's help).
But, I did enjoy the fast pace of the film ... not to mention the presence of two hot actresses (Amanda Seyfried & Olivia Wilde).
