As a self-proclaimed movie critic, i believe us critics have a job of preserving the sacred art of film-making as well as protect the lives of many eyeballs that may explode or be scratched out due to a movie that can only be described as "crap". Anyhow, from his point forth, every blockbuster movie i watch, i will hereby make a judgement on its watch-ability or rather how much hard-earned money and time you will be looking to waste by viewing such despicable movies.
"In Time" can only be described in such c-word proportions as previously stated. Indeed what it lacks in ability, awe, chemistry, humour, action and thrill, it makes up for in a requiem of hot bodies. With the likes of former world sexiest man, Justin Timberlake and teenage heartthrob Alex Pettyfer as well as Amanda Seyfried and Olivia Wilde. Justin Timberlake isn't exactly the worst choice for a movie of such calibre since with a lacking screenplay, a singer pretending to be an actor would suffice. The vibes given off are similar to that of Jason Statham but unfortunately the plot-line falls far short of the ideal that is "In Time". In a dystopic world where the saying "time is money" has taken on a more literal approach, the filmmakers waste no time playing on words with the police - "timekeepers" and well "i keep time" says the main antagonist policeman while the audience is left well, breathless. "I don't have time to play" - the Brave New World inspired world with 80s inspired cars and outfits would be more successful if more "time" was in fact spent writing a storyline that wasn't as muddled as the strange cinematography.
If you want to see an hour or so for an attractive cast and Justin Timberlake's attempts to break into the acting world, be my guest but that is about all you'll get, oh and a whole load of "time" jokes. Definitely a mindless waste of time that actually makes you wonder how if you wrote it, despite no qualifications, how much better the film would have been. 2/5 stars.
