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 don't really have an issue with where their morality lands, but moreso how quickly and extremely it changes. The characters feel like their morality is assigned to them rather than developed.

spoilerWhy would the daughter shoot the woman protagonist? They were very clearly being not hostile to her, and there was a very high likelihood of her being shot if she didn't escape with them. I would say the daughter's (Marie?) character is also sloppily implemented.

why would she be shot? she was being rescued, though what I found sloppy is that she just followed them, and didn't try to run away at that point, that makes her pulling the trigger weird.

spoiler> why would she be shot?

There were still plenty of anti-donation forces around that already attempted to shoot the protagonists. I assume they wouldn't hesitate to shoot her just like they wouldn't (and didn't) hesitate to shoot her mother.

well they said they don't kill innocent people randomly, didn't they? so there is really no reason any of them would harm her
