Film: In Time

This is a bad movie, but exactly the type of bad movie the studios ought to be making. It is an original, heady concept in the form of an action/chase movie. Basically, the same model that worked for the Matrix. The problem is with execution and Justin Timberlake. This guy is horrible to watch on the big screen. He seems like a little boy. He possesses zero charisma and zero masculinity. He isn't a good actor. The writing is really lame. Andrew Niccol seems to have skill as a producer and about 1/2 skill as a director and very little skill as a writer.

Nevertheless, the studios ought to make more movies like these. If they fail, they might as well fail trying to make movies rather than brands. And while this is a bad movie, at least it is one.
