In time is a film with a very cool concept. See, in the film, time is currency,and you just live out your life day by day. The concept of this film is so cool, actually, that I expected a great film. I did not get that, unfortunately. However, I did get a pretty good film. Justin Timberlake proves he can be an action star. He has previously proven he can be a good actor, and he also proved on Saturday Night Live he can do comedy. Now, he does prove himself an action star, even if he is no Jackie Chan, or hell, Steven Seagal. Timberlake isn't fantastic in this film, like in Black Snake Moan, but if you had never seen him before, you would be able to see he's a very talented guy. My main complaint with the film is Amanda Seyfried, who played the damsel in distress role with a very slight presence. By this I mean she doesn't really try, and you barely notice she's there. Considering she is the second biggest star in the film and is in most of the scenes, she brings the movie down. With that being said, Cillian Murphy makes an excellent bad guy. He is thoroughly creeoy and fun. In Time isn't one of the better films this year, but it is fun, even if Seyfried does bring it down a couple notches.
