This? "In Time" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1637688/
I'm normally really horrible at identifying things like this, but I'd bookmarked this one myself b/c of the premise.
I’m a doctor not a trope writer.

I only recall seeing commercials and trailers for the movie in question. Apparently, in the near future, instead of using actual money to pay for things, you literally took time out of your own lifespan, and everybody had a timer laser-tattooed on them stating how much time they had left to live. The only quote I can remember is "Five minutes for a coffee?!", and apparently there was somebody who was stealing time from other people's lives.
