In Time (2011)
When Will Salas is falsely accused of murder, he must figure out a way to bring down a system where time is money - literally - enabling the wealthy to live forever while the poor, like Will, have to beg, borrow, and steal enough minutes to make it through another day.

There's a lot to like about In Time, but it misses the mark for being an overly memorable experience and ends up being just an adequate sci-fi flick.September 18, 2012
"In Time" gets points for putting forth an interesting concept, but because of Niccol's inability to utilize that concept, we get a film that ends up going nowhere.April 12, 2012
Worry, worry and watch the clock, for 'In Time' wastes what time you've got.March 04, 2013
One long, extended chase sequence interspersed with awkward flirting.October 31, 2011
The film is beautifully shot in chilly blues and grays by cinematographer Roger Deakins, and Los Angeles locales are well chosen for futuristic effect. Most of the time, however, I found myself glancing at the clock on my own wrist.June 22, 2013
Don't let the ads fool you: It has a lot on its mind.October 31, 2011
Niccol's zippy direction, joined to a sleek, rich production design, keeps the movie spinning like a shiny toy.November 10, 2011
Clever and unsettling.December 29, 2012
Even with its thoughtful nods to "Bonnie & Clyde" and "Les Miserables," "In time" never delivers that transcendent "Blade Runner" moment, and never rises above cult classic to simple classic.November 01, 2011
Niccol's major problem is timing: action sequences and dialogue scenes lie flat on the screen, while his tendency to play around with pacing means that any tension quickly dissipates. Life's too short.October 28, 2011
A movie so consistently flat-footed, with pauses between lines of dialogue so vast, that you begin to wonder if the whole thing might be a psychological experiment of some kind.June 20, 2013
In Time is so crammed with provocative ideas it begins to feel over-crowded.
