Plot: When time literally becomes the ultimate currency, the 'rich' live forever without aging a day while everyone else struggles to live day to day.
Review: Going into this movie I honestly didn't think it would work. I'm very happy to say I was extremely surprised!!! This is a vaguely familiar, yet unnervingly original take on a nightmare world. There are no bill extensions, no loans giving you a very different perspective on the day-to-day grind. If you haven't earned more time you drop dead looking like a 25 year old. And the cast members are happy to take you along for the ride. Justin Timberlake creates a fantastic down to earth hero to root for. The story fleshes out the supporting characters flawlessly, giving the audience plenty of time to gain an emotional connection with each character keeping the movie from becoming a one man show. This is one of the few times a cast full of Hollywood's most attractive actually serves the story better. While the tone takes itself seriously, there are some great moments that made me laugh out loud and even had the audience cheering! A thin backstory setting up the film is the only complaint I have about this one, but it's a small one.
In the end: With a disturbiling convincing story and a great cast lead by Justin Timberlake this movie is one hell of a ride!
Grade: A-
