You've probably seen the trailers...
Justin Timberlake is from the ghetto in a future where time is money. The poor run out of time, the rich hoard it. When your clock runs out, you clock out. I thought the premise was interesting, but the implementation seemed a little quirky. There's a device for exchanging/storing time credits, like an electronic wallet, but apparently, you can also transfer time credits back and forth by doing a hand clasp. And somehow, the amount you want to transfer is just automatically known. And somehow, transferring credits takes time (like filling a gas tank), but sometimes small transfers take a long time (usually when dramatic effect requires it). Also, it seems like a bad system of monetary exchange if there's no way to keep someone from just grabbing your arm and stealing your credits. There isn't even a PIN!
It was OK, not great. I like the "futurized" 60's cars: Continentals (regular and stretch) and Chargers:
