Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried are lovers on the run in a future world where the rich can stay young for ever, while the poor are killed off when their money runs out.

It should be the setting for a head-spinning satire, but Andrew Niccol (The Truman Show, Gattaca) wastes his idea on a rote chase thriller that's weighed down by laboured puns and embarrassingly obvious social commentary.
