I watched "In Time" with my g/f last night, and was really disappointed with it. I thought it was a really interesting premise and for the first half an hour I thought it really could be a modern "Blade Runner". However, it quickly descended into being nothing more than a one trick pony and by the end it frankly turned out to be rather crap.

However, I was just wondering how many of you (who have seen it, obviously!) noticed that almost all the characters had names ascociated with watches or watchmakers? So we had characters called Weis, Raymond, Salas, Borel, Ulysse, Nardin, Bell, Ross, Hamilton, Pierre, Victa(!), Pasha, Fortis, Rado, Jaeger, Constantin, Girard, Milus, Franck, Carrera, Oris, Nomos and yes even Breitling! :thumbsup:

It's a shame that spotting watch names became the most interesting thing in what could've been a really cool film.
