In Time
What's It About?
In a future world, where no one ages after 25 and time has literally become money- a young man is accused of murdering a rich man who commits suicide- but not before giving him his time fortune.

Trailer:


PREDICTION:
"The plot is really cool, and it is cool that singer-turned-actor Justin Timberlake is starring in it. But he doesn't look believable in this sci-fi flick. An equally young, hip, but more credible actor, a la Shia LaBeouf, would have been a better choice. Timberlake looks like he will give a decent enough performance however."
