In Time (2011)

The movie is set in the future. People are genetically modified to stop aging at 25 but at that moment their clock starts ticking giving only one more year to live. In order to live longer they have to earn time. Time is the new money. The main character Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) finds himself accused in a murder and time stealing. Will is sought by time keepers lead by Raymond Leon(Cillian Murphy). He begins to work against the system. On a way he meets rich and board Sylvia Weis (Amanda Seyfried). They begin Bonnie and Clyde type of bank robberies, this time time stealing.
The move pictures human society as it always has been: few rich against many poor. Is there way out of it? I don't think there is answer, at least no one has found it. There are some scenes that ask is help always a help, for example, Will gives 10 years to his friend who as a result drinks himself to death on the same day?
