Note #1 "in time" movie review Our hero is surprisingly talented in many skills like gambling, driving, shooting and arm wrestling, and only the last one was properly explained. Also he has a good taste, speach and manners despite being raised in the lowest society. But I could even deal with all of that except just one thing: there's no even tiniest hint of the uncertainty in his behaviour, so the wealthy people take him for one of their kind almost without questions. How did he managed to keep his dignity among all these desperate poor people? They never really tell us that. I just don't believe that a man raised in ghetto wouldn't lose his mind after he has got an enormous amount of money and saw the golden palaces for the first time in his life. Even the slightest, even for a moment, he should have. His behaviour looks pretty much unrealistic for me. Next, the girl. Her face is dull and boring. And I think the director of the movie has the same opinion, or else why woud she always show her only advantage? I mean, her tall slim legs. She wears unholy short dresses during the whole goddamn movie. Aside from this, it's hard to recall something else about her. Cillian is the main reason I watched this movie till the very end, actually. Funny thing: he's the only one adult character in the movie. Justin and the girl act like some rebellious teenagers. By the way, I find it amasing how, despite being oh so very intellegent and even educated, Justin doesn't know a thing about inflation. Spain, XVI century, American gold, inflation, no? Nothing? Okay then. It doesn't even matter, it's just... the way they struggle dispite The Great Evil System (the most favourite cliche of teenager movies) is so childish and outdated it can only be a comedy. But here it's meant to be taken seriously. I wonder who wrote all the deaths of the movie. They are so silly! I nearly stopped watching the movie after that tearjerker scene with the mother's death. It was so over-sweety and so overlong that I laughed, I really did. Seems to me like all the deaths (the mother's, the silly friend's we never really get a chance to know, etc) were made just for getting rid of the characters who hinder the plot. I don't believe these deaths, they only made me raise my brows mistrustfully. But in the end, I rather liked this movie than didn't. It has some rather impressive moments and a whole interesting idea. And, more importantly, it has Cillian Murphy!
