A: In a world where time is literally money, which when you run out of it you die, Justin Timberlake is given a hundred years by a suicidal man, which he uses to infiltrate the rich neighborhood, before being accused of stealing the time, at which point he kidnaps the richest man's daughter (Amanda Seyfried), and goes on the lam, while giving every hour he can back to the poor people in his ghetto neighborhood.
Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser, Olivia Wilde, Alex Pettyfer, Johnny Galecki, Matt Bomer, Collins Pennie, Toby Hemingway, Yaya DeCosta, Brendan Miller, Ethan Peck
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Proceed with Caution. A really interesting premise gets lost inside of what becomes a never ending chase scene.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: The only joke I remember is Amanda Seyfried accidentally firing off a gun-- haha, somebody got shot.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: A lot of main characters die at the beginning, middle, and end, so-- no.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: When I was at Comic Con, the preview for this movie was By Far the Best Preview I Saw in Hall H... Which makes it that much more disappointing that the film didn't live up to its promise.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: Justin Timberlake plays a character called Will Salas, but he might as well have been called Justin Timberlake because you never stop thinking you're watching Justin Timberlake. Amanda Seyfried is cute and strong as always. And how is Cillian Murphy not a bigger star by now?... Oh, yeah, because 50% of the roles he picks are cross-dressers. At least he recognizes that he looks hot as a woman.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: The... Pace.... In... Certain... Sections.... Is... Sooooooo... Slowwww... That... I... Started... To... Fall... Aslee--zz-zz-zz...
Q: How is the story/script?
A: The story starts out interesting, as you learn about the whats, hows, and whys of this world, which aims to parallel the division of wealth in our own society between the 1% and the 99%. Then Justin Timberlake is given a whole lot of time, which he wants to use to bring down the 1% by giving it back to the 99%. But when he gets accused of stealing that time, the script goes in a direction that doesn't take advantage of the interesting dynamic that has been set up. The minute police take all his time, and he goes on the run. I would've liked to see this premise go in more of a "clever mind game" direction, and less in a "who can run the fastest" direction.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
A: In Time Trailer

"lam" not lamb! Looks like a really boring flick.
It was disappointing. It could've been so much more.
