In a future where time is money and the wealthy can live forever, Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) is a poor man who rarely has more than a day's worth of life on his time clock. When he saves Henry Hamilton (Matt Bomer) from time thieves, Will receives the gift of a century. However, such a large transaction attracts the attention of the authorities, and when Will is falsely accused of murder, he must go on the run, taking the daughter (Amanda Seyfried) of an incredibly wealthy man with him.

Critics Consensus

In Time's intriguing premise and appealing cast are easily overpowered by the blunt, heavy-handed storytelling.

Noah Berlatsky The Atlantic The film's central metaphor is so sublimely obvious it feels like it's been stolen from a forgotten Star Trek script. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Anna Smith metro.co.uk If you're just after popcorn thrills, then In Time is not a complete waste of time, but future generations will not remember it. Rated: 2/5 Aug 24, 2018 Full Review David Thomson The New Republic In Time is so crammed with provocative ideas it begins to feel over-crowded. Jun 20, 2013 Full Review Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried lurch from car chases to shoot-outs, to a bloodless romantic interlude, while the script runs out of ideas around them, and eventually settles for a lazy Bonnie and Clyde-inspired final act. Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine There is Hollywood-style action, entertainment, the beauty of Amanda Seyfried as the rebellious daughter of the millionaire villain... and the charisma of Justin Timberlake. Beyond that, not much more. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson The high concept science-fiction played out in "In Time" is as uniquely original, stylish, challenging, and enthralling as it is preposterous.

Jason H I finally got around to watching this movie and I thought it was amazing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/25 Full Review Mike H This movie exposes how our system today is corrupt, new money enters the system, they increase the cost of living. Look at the average lifespan of people living in poverty (a shockingly high number of americans) and compare that to the wealthy. We are living this movie and it just exposes it with a twist. You can do a lot in a day! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Petros T The concept is very interesting, not only because it finds a sci-fi way to express the phrase "time is money" literally, but also because essentially it's a realistic film with a sci-fi wrapping: there's nothing imaginary about the poor trying to survive while running out of time. It's these themes along with the really good performances of Timberlake and Murphy that keep one engaged; otherwise, it's a rather straightforward, small-scale action movie, more ambitious in conception than execution. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Stoner J Super underrated, clever, and pretty thrilling near-future sci-fi flick. It’s a fun watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review Ethan D I LOVED THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Kristen B I enjoyed the movie overall for the pretty people, outfits, action. But it’s weird seeing a 44 year old playing a supposed 25 year old and that’s just Justin. Most of these folks are much older than the 25 years they’re supposed to be.
