This one seems to be flying under the radar, but I think it’s worth checking out, but don’t watch the trailer as it kinda spoils the whole thing.
The basic premise is basically the same as that not very well done film with Justin Timberlake, In Time, but instead of time being the currency and everything, you can sell/donate your time.
I have not seen In Time, but I do agree with you here. The selling time for money was more of a backdrop to the revenge plot of the movie.
Good set up, decent movie, but wish they would have expanded more on the life span selling.
it’s not a revenge story ala John Wick.
it’s an anti-capitalist story. or hero waking up from the system he participates in and rebelling against it (in that way it’s more of a Equillibrium).
In a way it’s also a critique of people who only realize that shit is wrong once they are personally affected by it.
