Worthy of your time.

Rating: Null/10 (1 November 2011)

Justin Timberlake's first foray into the action genre is a largely successful attempt; his natural charisma contributing to his believable 'every-man' character who seeks to take down the system. He chose wisely too, hitting sci-fi jackpot with Gattaca filmmaker Andrew Niccol not only at the helm but on scripting duties as well. In Time is intelligent without being pompous, although the unsubtle dig at the extremes in society's class system would've hit harder had it not been signposted at every turn. The intriguing plot – in the not-so-distant future you stop aging after turning 25 and must buy time to continue living – offers a neat concept and despite some obvious holes in logic, is a thought-provoker to boot. Along with Mr Sexyback, Amanda Seyfried hots up the screen as the wealthy rebel who plays Bonnie to JT's Clyde, however the standout is unsurprisingly Cillian Murphy who brings untold depth to his morally ambiguous "Timekeeper". Although it may not reach Inception-levels of sci-fi action awesomeness – what does? – this is worthy of your time nevertheless.
