This film was based on a neat idea...that in the near future wealth would be measured and traded in time...minutes, hours, etc. The structure of the story was conventional but the premise forced me to continue comparing what was on the screen with present day reality.
The action/chase scenes, pretty tiresome at this point in most films, were given new life by being integral to the fabric of the world created. JT is just barely adequate as a lead but his female co-star...Amanda Seyfried...is a real star and helped carry the film...even though she had many scenes running in high heels.
Niccols' previous film Gattaca also had a good premise but fell short in drama. This one corrected that fault and ended up a winner.
