In Time

Drama, Action
3.5 stars
Interesting concept. I’m not sure if this was supposed to be a parallel universe or the just future without cell phones, but people are genetically engineered to not age beyond 25 and any years beyond that are earned or spent as currency. Justin Timberlake stars as a working class guy from the poorest community or “time zone” who gets lucky by receiving 100 years from a rich guy who’s decided to call it a day (pun intended). Amanda Seyfried co-stars as his love interest. I thought the concept seemed like a combination of Robin Hood, 1984, the Patty Hearst saga (young people will have to Google that) and even Bonnie & Clyde. There were lots of chase scenes and action. Decent movie, but you should probably wait for video.
