In Time

Twisting time...Vincent Kartheiser..Justin Timberlake...Amanda Seyfried

With an excellent plot device, this film doesn't live to it's full potential and at least 50 minutes of on-screen foot and car chases doesn't help. Set in the future, it shows that people don't age over 25 and money is time, items cost time, like one example is a coffee is 4 minutes. A very expensive hotel is 1 year. It sees Justin Timberlake receive a century of time from a mysterious man who kills himself and suddenly be transported into an adventure where he kidnaps a billionaire's daughter (Amanda Seyfried) and takes her on the run. It spends one hour of the movie showing Seyfried and Timberlake running around getting into car chases while being pursued by a 'Timekeeper' (Cillian Murphy.) They become vigilante Robin Hood-style criminals, giving illegal time to homeless people, small children, anyone in need of it. It drags on a bit, and there are too many plot holes, (in the thin sliver of plot that's there) but it's stupid. Enjoyably stupid.
