Again with the movie trailers that caught my eye:
I'm hoping to see more from the movie than "Rich people are evil. Poor people deserve more." Which is mostly what the trailer shows.
The notion of time as money is believable, and worth exploring. There's already so much linkage between the two. And if immortality was available, what else would make sense as a currency? This world can only support so many people. You want to keep being one of them? Earn it. When you think of children in this world, it becomes especially poignant. In order to bring a child into the world, someone would have to sponsor it, giving it some of the the life time allotted to them.
And if movies where people have clocks in their arms is your cup of tea, let me also recommend Timer. It's that rare creature, the sci-fi RomCom. It's available on NetFlix instant. And it's worth your time.

Oh, and perhaps it is gardening on a hillside that tones one's legs when they themselves cannot remember exercising.
