Take a little more time

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2011)

Great concept for a film, it doesn't make much sense on how they got there or when 'in the near distant future' this take place as it states 2061 but has numerous style references to the 60's, but who cares when the concept is as good as it is. The film is slick and smart, with Suits and vintage cars and slick haircuts. Im not so sure if this film is meant to have a message about today's world with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer but it certainly didn't feel like it was meant to.
I liked all the characters in this film and thought that Amanda Seyfried came out of this movie quite well, whether that was down to being the lead role next to Justin Timberlake i don't know.
In Time sets off at a great pace and keeps you entertained for the duration, however i came out of the cinema thinking 2 things
1. that was good and worth the money 2. If they had cast someone better as the lead role it would have been a brilliant film.
Don't get me wrong, i think Justin Timberlake is talented and his acting skills are OK as shown in The Social Network but i cant take him seriously as a lead role, especially in a movie like this. He comes across to cheesy and false, when the character is after revenge, you just don't feel that he really portrays this.
All in all, not a terrible movie and certainly better than some of the remakes 2011 has brought us, for the sheer concept alone i gave it a 6 out of 10.
I would have given it a higher score if they had cast it slightly different.
