Great idea, uneven plot, some good performances

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2013)

I consider the concept of time settlement sophisticated and fresh, and most of the events and dialogs originated from this in a witty manner, providing food for thought and reflections. The plot was not smooth, however, the excitement declined from time to time, and some scenes were unnecessary, giving the movie additional 10-15 minutes that could have been avoided.
As for the cast, I liked Cillian Murphy and Alex Pettyfer most; usually interesting Amanda Seyfried was too ordinary here. Justin Timberlake was pretty much uninviting, instead of him Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Shia LaBeouf could have been used, for example.
Nevetheless, In Time is an above-the-average entertainment, and is recommended primarily to those fond of sci-fi with strong human involvement.
