In Time - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Updated idea of "Logans Run"right down to the crazy true believer "sandman"types.What differs is buying extra years,but thats one of the issues I have with this film and thus I took 1 and 1/2 stars off.It sort of adds"Highlander"and "Bonnie and Clyde"to the mix and so goes all over the place plot wise,rather than staying on target of a society choosing to kill itself at a young age unless……………..????Still its a novel idea and for those who like this sort of future hedonist type world will go for it as the cast is attractive and talented but I just couldn't get into a non-blonde Amanda Seyfried as I always love me some of that. Kuddos to Justin Timberlake as well.Released in 2011 it runs 109 minutes.Trailer URL follows pic and a IMDB summary is below.

Welcome to a world where time has become the ultimate currency. You stop aging at 25, but there's a catch: you're genetically-engineered to live only one more year, unless you can buy your way out of it. The rich "earn" decades at a time (remaining at age 25), becoming essentially immortal, while the rest beg, borrow or steal enough hours to make it through the day. When a man from the wrong side of the tracks is falsely accused of murder, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful hostage. Living minute to minute, the duo's love becomes a powerful tool in their war against the system. Written by Twentieth Century Fox
