In Time (2011) Movie

Rotten tomatoes rated it at 38% only. But I enjoyed it; not so much the movie as the premise. By removing money from the economic equation the link between trading time for time becomes tangible. Are you wasting time, who benefits from your gift of time? The measure of value is very quick. The economy of the nation is instantly measurable in millions of years of time stored by the rich who have more time than they could ever use and the poor, who die at the slightest miscalculation. The robin hood - Bonnie and clyde angle is fun, the timekeeper tedious, etc. If you don't like the premise, don't bother with the movie it is a bit tedious.
imdb.com/In a future where people stop aging at 25, but are engineered to live only one more year, having the means to buy your way out of the situation is a shot at immortal youth. Here, Will Salas finds himself accused of murder and on the run with a hostage - a connection that becomes an important part of the way against the system.
