In Time
Imagine an alternate universe where no one is supposed to live more than 25 years. There, time is money, literally, and no one can afford to waste it. It's "Robin Hood" meets "Bonnie and Clyde" as a couple of time bandits try to change their world while evading the "time keeper", a time cop. The film creates a fascinating, but depressing society which obsesses over time instead of money. Issues of immortality, greed, and segregation are brought up. Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried star as a couple brought together by circumstance and forced to live day by day.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "give so you can live" stars out of 4.
