Movie Reivew: "In Time"

This Sci-Fi adventure film stars Memphis’ Justin Timberlake as Will Salas, a down and out worker in a futuristic ghetto. Cillian Murphy plays a policeman or “Time Keeper” in perpetual pursuit of Salas. In the near future, humans are genetically engineered to only live 25 years. To live beyond 24 years, life is extended by purchasing time- a literal time is money. The working masses eek out small extensions of life by toiling away in industries controlled by a wealthy few. Salas obtains a large extension of time from a wealthy donor. After abducting a wealthy sympathetic heiress he attempts to bring down a corrupt establishment that keeps the masses enslaved to the wealthy few.

The premise is interesting. Timberlake’s acting is marginal. The plot could have been developed better.
