In the near future the world's population doesn't age past 25. The rich live forever and the poor die young, and have to work in slavery to pay off their debt. Their debt is being calculated right in front of them as a ticking time bomb on their arm. One man who has had enough of the immoral institution will do anything to make the most of the time he is allotted. Every citizen under the poverty line knows the system is flawed but no one has taken a stand against it. Will Salas has come to bring a judgment day on the heads of the wealthy.
Will Salas is a smooth rebel that can handle a pistol, and the stick of sports car. He is a 28 year old ladies man that lands a smoking hot ginger, who happens to be the enemies daughter. I just hope that he went Benjamin Braddock (The Graduate, '67) on that guys ass and slept with his mother in law, wife, and daughter that are all 25 year old sex goddesses. I know JT would have it in him but what about this futuristic Robin Hood we call Will? A true pioneer for all those blue collar Americans out there must take a break and make sweet love to his main squeeze. From what I have seen in the trailer, yes he does.
The beautiful Amanda Seyfried will be the Marion Loxley for Salas if you will. She is the Bonnie of this operation that will watch Will's six as he pulls off some James Bondesque fight sequences. Seyfried is the daughter of Philippe Weis (Vincent Kartheiser, Mad Men) and has been kidnapped by an alleged criminal (Salas). After spending a little time with Salas she goes against her filthy rich father in search for a little spark in her boring life, cue the theme of revolt over bourgeois opression.
All in all come October 28th (USA) this movie will be an excuse to get up off the couch and into the cinema. It does seem to have a lot of originality with underlying themes of science fiction, crime, political oppression, rebellion, and a love affair. And with quite a few action scenes it will fit today's Hollywood standard of potential "blockbuster". The lineup of actors proves this movie has had a large budget that would bring production value up along with the amount of tickets sold on opening weekend. Timberlake's acting career is on a rise to what i anticipate in being a supremacy in Hollywood. Cillian Murphy and Vincent Kartheiser will be top notch as the evil time keepers out to restore the crooked system that works to their benefit.
Grade Prediction: B- (83%)
