Repo Men

In the futuristic action-thriller Repo Men, 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. Jude Law plays Remy, 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 (Forest Whitaker), to track him down.



You pretty much get exactly what you expect from this movie . . . . . until the last couple of minutes. Its rare that "twist" endings get me. This one did. Its not like the twist makes the movie any better than it is or something more than it is. It just caught me off guard. I really won't say too much more about it than that because its better not to give it away. As for the rest of the movie, there is lots of action, crazy fight scenes, lots of blood and badassness. There are definitely parts of it where it dragged and the movie easily could have been shorter.



I would recommend this movie to anyone in to action and fighting. If that's up your alley, you will probably like this movie. Its not great by any means but its not completely horrible either.
