In Time (2011)

I just saw this movie and really liked it. Not only does it have a good cast (Justin Timberlake, Alex Pettyfer and Amanda Seyfried) but the storyline really makes you stop and think. The idea that everyone has a timeline that they can see and tell when they are going to die (or "time out" as the movie calls it) but the way the rich and powerful openly exploit the poor for their time draws parallels to today's society. I don't think I would want to live in a society like that, but it really makes you question things. The poor have to struggle everyday just to survive while the rich don't have to worry about their timeline, but can't really live because they are afraid to be killed for their time. The rich walk around slowly (because they aren't afraid of where their next minute would come from) but they also had lots of bodyguards around them for fear of theft. Justin Timberlake's character is poor and strives to better the lives of the people around him while Amanda Seyfried's character is rich and yet she doesn't start "living" until she leaves the security of her "time zone" and has to start thinking about where the extra minutes and hours will come from. The two become a Bonnie and Clyde mixed with Robin Hood where they steal (or take back) time from the rich and distribute it amongts the poor. The end of the movie leaves it open for a sequel - which I wouldn't mind seeing.
