You know what? I actually liked In Time. I was young, but I don’t recall anything wrong with that movie, and from what I remember the climax was really really emotional and cool… I don’t know, I might need to revisit it, but I remember I revisited it a couple of times and it was always entertaining, at least. I cared about the characters.
With Paradise, I felt like it’s just another “eye for an eye” story that I’ve seen so many times, and ultimately it was not about the concept of time as currency, but the concept of revenge, which is like… fine, okay.
