In Time (2011)
The American dystopian science fiction shows the efficacy of time to life, in a world enabling the wealthy to live forever while the poor, like Will, have to beg, borrow, and steal enough minutes to make it through another day.

Even with its thoughtful nods to "Bonnie & Clyde" and "Les Miserables," "In time" never delivers that transcendent "Blade Runner" moment, and never rises above cult classic to simple classic.

Clever and unsettling.

A movie so consistently flat-footed, with pauses between lines of dialogue so vast, that you begin to wonder if the whole thing might be a psychological experiment of some kind.

There's a lot to like about In Time, but it misses the mark for being an overly memorable experience and ends up being just an adequate sci-fi flick.

Don't let the ads fool you: It has a lot on its mind.

In Time is so crammed with provocative ideas it begins to feel over-crowded.

Niccol's major problem is timing: action sequences and dialogue scenes lie flat on the screen, while his tendency to play around with pacing means that any tension quickly dissipates. Life's too short.

One long, extended chase sequence interspersed with awkward flirting.

Worry, worry and watch the clock, for 'In Time' wastes what time you've got.

Niccol's zippy direction, joined to a sleek, rich production design, keeps the movie spinning like a shiny toy.

"In Time" gets points for putting forth an interesting concept, but because of Niccol's inability to utilize that concept, we get a film that ends up going nowhere.

The film is beautifully shot in chilly blues and grays by cinematographer Roger Deakins, and Los Angeles locales are well chosen for futuristic effect. Most of the time, however, I found myself glancing at the clock on my own wrist.
