Went and watched a screening for this yesterday and found it pretty enjoyable. I went in thinking it was going to be pretty shit, JT as the main man, decent bit of gash to look at in the form of Amanda Seyfried, looks like your run-in-the-mill turd in the making. Alas I was wrong, it's one of the most original things i've seen in a long time, by no means is it great but it's well worth the pricetag and makes a change from the numerous sequels, prequels and random shit that is being churned. Cillian Murphy was top notch as per also. Anyone else saw?

Haven't seen it yet but the missus is out of town this weekend visiting a friend so for once I might be able to see something like this without having to explain what's going on every 5 minutes!

Will report back on what I think.

P.s. How sickening is it how talented Timberlake is? Don't get me wrong I bloody loathe most of his music but I can't argue that the guy can sing, dance and act...not to mention the amazing comedy chops he shows every time he hosts SNL. /mancrush off

Saw it tonight and enjoyed it a lot!

Some of the most obvious allegory I've ever seen in a movie but it was a well put together movie I thought.

Faye and Myself watched this lastnight and we both enjoyed it too. I will get this too for my collection and we both also commented that JT is a pretty good actor for a singer if you know what I mean. I think he is better than most experienced actors out there, I reckon. I will watch more of his stuff if/when he gets into more films...

Have you seen Alpha Dog? If not give it a watch. Good film and he's good in that too.

Saw this last night, great concept, could have been executed a little better; but worth a watch.

I think the ending was a little off, but it couldn't exactly just copy repo men. It was fairly decent though.

Very good concept turned into a very average film. Not enough focus on the time, it could well be money he was trying to get hold of (well, time is money but meh)

Pretty much this, the tie aspect was lost at some point in the beginnig. It also dragged a bit long. Worth a watch, but could've been a lot better.

Good low-budget sci-fi. Great concept. I was pleased it wasn't just a Logan's Run copy. Agree with most of the points above, many things could have been done better and the Bonnie & Clyde ending didn't really fit well but I guess was a lead-in to a sequel if the film makes some money.
