In Time is an excuse for the director to put all of the gorgeous people that Hollywood have to offer in one film, it’s the best of how corporate America have finally made the super-super-major mother load, it’s also a love story of a commoner from the ghetto with the princess in the castle.
The storyline is simple, money is replaced with time, u are given a year to live after you reached 25. And the richer you are the more time you have. Even the market is traded in time.
Spoilers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The twist is when a rich man who’s lived for ages want to die, he gave it all to a man in the ghetto. After losing his mom just seconds from her time loss, he decided to go to the riches area. Of course to have so many time suddenly, he is hunted by the “Time Keeper”. The symbolism really resemblance today’s markets and corporation darkness. And talk about having all the up-and-coming star in the movie, Olivia Wilde, Amanda Seyfried, of course, Justin Timberlake finally as the leading man, and suitably this time too. We see Matt Bomer, and Alex Pettyfer. Vincent Kartheiser is always weird to watch in character, Collins Pennie and Toby Hemingway, but one person who actually looked older than the citizen of the future should look like is Cillian Murphy, not that I’m complaining though on the acting, he’s fantastic as the chief time keeper.
the love story side of the movie is really Bonnie and Clyde really, even until the ending. the love bird Chasing the rush of destroying the very "Time institution" and going for the bigger and bigger Timer.
This is a movie that I think everyone should watch, because it actually puts money into perspective with the replacement of it with life time in the movie literally.
Another movie that came out last week is Trespass. And I believe many people have pass by this movie a dozen time and decide not to watch it. Simply, I think for the new generation, the Nicholas Cage-Nicole Kidman combination really isn’t that attractive to them. But I find that Nicholas Cage is simply in great in the reluctant father and husband with money character. But I must say, the chemistry is a bit lacking and I can feel the strain in the acting almost trying too hard. One person I find acting pretty effectively and convincingly is Cam Gigandet. The semi-Psychotic brother of the burglar and conspirator. there’s not much of a suspense in the movie really. Right from the start the adultery is revealed. Or has it?
It’s a pretty straight forward thriller, but maybe it’s too straight forward, the pressure point is too weak and too quickly resolved for audience to register.
