I have been wanting to see this movie for a while and I'm so glad I did. I loved it! This movie stars Justin Timberlake as Will Salas, a man living in the future where everyone stops aging at 25. So, time is currency, with the poor having only enough hours in a day and the rich living forever. After saving a mysterious, wealthy stranger (Matthew Bomer), the man gives Will all of his time, 116 years. Tired of living, the man "times out", leaving Will with more money than he knows what to do with. After his mother (Olivia Wilde) dies without time, Will starts gambling at an expensive casino, where he meets Philippe Weis (Vincent Kartheiser), a man with more than a million years. He also meets Sylvia Weis (Seyfried), his daughter. At a party, head timekeeper Raymond Leon (Murphy) catches up with him, forcing him to take Sylvia hostage. Also on their tail are time thieves called Minutemen, led by a man named Fortis (Alex Pettyfer). As Will and Sylvia avoid everyone after them, they also start to realize that no one should die when other people never have to.
