  47. In the future humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called "The Union". The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don't pay your bill, "The Union" sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property... with no concern for your comfort or survival. Former soldier Remy is one of the best organ repo men in the business. But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company's top-of-the-line heart-replacement... as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart's no longer in the job. When he can't make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy's former partner Jake, to track him down.
  48. Set in the near future when artificial organs can be bought on credit, it revolves around a man who struggles to make the payments on a heart he has purchased. He must therefore go on the run before said ticker is repossessed.
  49. REPO MEN may be worthy of a bit of interest in the novel form &#39;The Repossession Mambo&#39; by Eric Garcia (who co-wrote the script with Garrett Lerner), but as a film it is simply silly. After about fifteen minutes into the movie the greatest temptation is to turn it off, but since it is paid for you sit through it, hoping that it will have some redeeming graces. Mistake. <br/><br/>Directed by neophyte Miguel Sapochnik whose credits are in art direction, the film for some reason has a number of outstanding actors attached to it: the payroll must have been big! Jude Law and Forest Whitaker, two fine actors, play the men who repossess internal organs (kidneys, hearts, livers, joints, etc) sold to them by a company run by Liev Schreiber - a company more interested in time payments with very high interest rates (sound familiar?) than with cash up front payments. If a recipient of one of these mechanical organs fails to pay the full amount in the given time, the Repo Men seek them out and take the organs back - leaving the buyer to simply die. The entire film is just that - killing and gory surgeries to take back or repossess organs. A bit of a glitch pops up when we discover that Jude law has one of these hearts whose payments are past due and he and a singer - Alice Braga, niece of actress Sonia Braga - both house expired organs and are on the run from the company in the leadership of yes, Forest Whitaker. It just gets worse as the chase moves into endless killings and raids and ridiculous situations. And the ending is a must miss. <br/><br/>One wonders what attracted Jude Law and Forest Whitaker to this loser: more odd is why brilliant actress Carice van Houten agreed to the tiny minor and meaningless role of Jude Law&#39;s wife, or John Leguizamo singing on for an equally unimportant minor role. Maybe there is an audience for this film, an audience who doesn&#39;t mind the concept of making fun of organ transplantation as a fraudulent business, and who can tolerate the gore that is on screen throughout the film. It all seems a waste of talent trying hard to prevent this film from becoming a terrible bore - and failing. <br/><br/>Grady Harp
  50. Yes, it&#39;s similar to Repo: the Genetic Opera, Gattaca, Minority Report, Vanilla Sky, Dark City, Total Recall, and others. It also has stylistic similarities to movies like the Resident: Evil movies, Aeon Flux, and Ultraviolet.<br/><br/>But this isn&#39;t nearly as campy as R:tGO. This is a better screen adaptation, in my opinion, than Vanilla Sky. Law is a better actor than Ethan Hawke or latter-day Tom Cruise by far, and with Oscar winner Forest Whittaker as his sidekick, how could it truly lose in comparison? Have no doubt, it IS campy, most certainly a B-movie. It&#39;s no Blade Runner, for instance, for all that it capably hints at an ever more debauched and cynical future. But it is also nuanced and thoughtful and beautiful in its own way, much as Alice Braga is. Her easy sensuality and the palpable unforced attraction between her and Law make the movie more watchable.<br/><br/>Though director Miguel Sapochnik wastes little time developing the &quot;true love&quot; relationship between leading man and -woman, he doesn&#39;t really need to, as his romantic leads (and Whittaker) speak volumes with body language, facial expressions, and chemistry.<br/><br/>Tony-winner Liev Schreiber, as always, plays the smarmy asshole wonderfully. The RZA&#39;s turn as an over-leveraged musician rings true. And the soundtrack/score is both appropriate and memorable.<br/><br/>Give this flick a chance. I think that successive views will force you to realise that it&#39;s not nearly as forgettable or easily dismissed as it might initially seem.<br/><br/>And after all, for all its sci-fi trappings, it IS a tale of doomed love/rs...
  51. This is not a bad cast, but whatever wit the script aims for is lost in the queasy details director Miguel Sapochnik found more fascinating.
  52. Repo Men is based on the novel The Repossession Mambo by Eric Garcia. It&#39;s called &quot;Burn My Shadow&quot; by UNKLE. The DVD and Blu-ray disc releases of the film contain both the theatrical version (rated R) and an unrated version of the movie. The longer cut has approximately 7 minutes of additional footage, mostly containing story-driven scenes but also some slight corrections of editing mistakes and some new gore. a5c7b9f00b
