In the not-too-distant future, the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest struggle to negotiate for their immortality. A poor young man who suddenly comes into a fortune of time finds himself on the run from a corrupt police force known as the "time keepers".

Fantasy of course, but the way technology is changing the face of this world, in 2021 it would not surprise me. Action packed from start to finish, with many 'on the edge of your seat' moments. Worth my time and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for roller coaster entertainment.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A compelling concept makes this decent heist film worth your time. In Time’s unique premise asks interesting questions and ultimately puts a fresh coat of paint on the typical heist stereotype. I love heist movies and In Time is an interesting take as the characters steal seconds of life instead of money. While posing intriguing questions about life, worth, and economic tension, In Time fills its runtime with car chases, shootouts, bank heists, and a little bit of character development. In Time is not a perfect movie, but it has pretty good action, a great cast, and a provocative concept making for a solid film.
