Review: In Time

I saw this movie with buddies on a Saturday night, hoping to see Paranormal Activity 3.  However, guards don't allow teen boys to see R-Rated movies without a parent.  So we went to In Time.  This movie looked pretty interesting, but was basically the same concept.  A guy wants time, another guy gives it to him, now the guy with all the time, he vows to not waste it.  Weird how he goes and buys sports cars, hotel suites, and suits, and he says he won't waste the time.  There is plot holes like that and sometimes, the time just goes too fast.  One minute Justin Timberlake has 1 minute on his life clock, then he gets time from a friend.  Instantly.  And yet so many people die in this movie on the street.  Why don't they just shake a random stranger's hand and get time?  But that is just me.  Overall, this is an average movie that has good acting, but just not enough complexity.  My favorite actor in this was Olivia Wilde, and of course she has to die 30 minutes into the movie.
 Bottom Line:  In Time has the stuff, but just does it in an average way.  Sorry Justin Timberlake.
