Plot hole: In the last car-chasing scene, the timekeeper had switched his car to chase them, then how could Justin Timberlake get the timekeeper's salary (a day's time) from a car that the timekeeper picked up from the streets?
In Time (2011)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Andrew Niccol
Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Cillian Murphy, Justin Timberlake
Will and Silvia break into Phillipe's personal high security vault and steal his first million years from him. They then release all of these years into the system at the rescue mission. Even though there's nothing the Timekeepers can do about the release, Ray continues to chase the outlaws, but Timekeepers only keep a small amount of time on their person and Raymond didn't receive his allowance during the final chase, Raymond times out and he dies. Will races to use Raymond's allowance to save his life and also save Sylvia's life. We then see Will and Sylvia pull up outside another bank some time later and prepare to rob the bank with guns. As they start climbing the steps it cuts to credits implying that Will and Sylvia have become the Robin Hoods of the new era, robbing banks to give time to the poor.

Suggested correction: I think it is the car of another time keeper. Hence, it may have a time transfer system.
Raymond Leon: I don't have time. I don't have time to worry about how it happened. It is what it is. We're genetically engineered to stop aging at 25. The trouble is, we live only one more year, unless we can get more time. Time is now the currency. We earn it and spend it. The rich can live forever. And the rest of us? I just want to wake up with more time on my hand than hours in the day.
Trivia: Olivia Wilde plays Justin Timberlake's mother in the movie, even though she is three years his junior.
Question: We see in the movie that the time is like money but where is the "time" generated?
Chosen answer: When they turn 25, their built-in clock starts counting down from 1 year. Since time is the currency, they must then work and contribute to the economy, in order to earn time and survive. The government gives that one year of time to each person, as both a population control measure (if they don't work and earn, they'll die) and an economic incentive.
