- 90MovielineStephanie ZacharekMovielineStephanie ZacharekIn Time has so much style and energy that it comes across as an act of boldness rather than just a liberal-minded tract, though of course, it's that too. If there were ever a movie made for the 99 percent, this is it.
- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertJustin Timberlake continues to demonstrate that he is a real actor, with screen presence. But after the precise timing and intelligence he brought to "The Social Network," it's a little disappointing to find him in a role that requires less. He has a future in the movies.
- 70SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirSo, yeah - even if In Time descends from its gripping and thought-provoking premise into a mediocre chase thriller before it's over, it's still pretty damn satisfying to watch in the current climate.
- 63Miami HeraldRene RodriguezMiami HeraldRene RodriguezIf you can overlook the lack of logic inherent in its central conceit, In Time makes for a fun, stylish piece of speculative sci-fi.
- 63Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger Moore"Gattaca" director Andrew Niccol's sense of the zeitgeist is as on the money as ever with In Time, a sci-fi parable that plays like "Occupy Wall Street: The Movie."
- 50Slant MagazineNick SchagerSlant MagazineNick SchagerJustin Timberlake can't elevate what amounts to relatively simplistic, formulaic material, but his headlining turn exhibits sufficient charisma and wit to make In Time a passably diverting action-packed waste of time.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyThe Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyAs novel and absorbing as In Time is in several respects, however, Andrew Niccol's latest conception of an altered but still recognizable future feels undernourished in other ways that are not as salutary, preventing the film from fulfilling its strong inherent promise.
- 50The A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonThe A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonMuch like Niccol's "Gattaca," in which genetic perfection rather than time was the weapon a small group of snobby, unworthy elites used to hold down the meek masses, In Time is a chilly, stiff movie where clever ideas are delivered as self-righteous sermons.
- 16Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallTampa Bay TimesSteve PersallNiccol fashioned an uninspired and downright dull sci-fi gimmick and doesn't even explain how it happened.
