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.

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.

Yeah, I don't want to re-watch In Time, but I have fond memories of the movie.

The plot was simple and was conveyed effectively, which is not something you can say of many Time Travelling/ Modding films.
