Mini-review: In Time

Stylish retro-modern thriller set in a world where time is literally money - and the amount of time people is in direct proportion to their lifespan. As with Niccol's previous films,  it's a thoughtfully constructed and plausible world he's created - especially in light of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and other block chain technologies. In this case, however, the ideas feel slightly underserved by their filmic vehicle - especially when compared with GATTACA.

Timberlake gives an able performance as a time poor(!) man from the ghetto who happens upon a huge amount of time. Seyfried doesn't have very much to do, but is capable enough.
