I still don't get the basis of the plot. Why do they need to kill the guy that got 100 years from the other guy? I mean, I get how if everyone can live forever they have to kill people off to avoid overpopulation, but they seem to be going after him just because he got a transfer.
It's a class warfare plot. You can't let just anybody into the country club. (which is, incidentally, why I'm laughing at Aizle's grasp of the theme vs. Logan's Run, which was an ageism plot stemming from a vaguely similar premise)
Especially not people with dangerous ideas about fairness and equality. If you just start giving time to the masses, the entire system crumbles.

Yeah, unfortunately, I think they went a little too far into the movie. I would've stopped around the time Johnny Galecki tells him he can't walk just walk around like that in the ghetto or he's gonna get jumped. Or maybe *right* after he goes and steps into the high society and meets the 3 generations of women.
