a5c7b9f00b In the near future, the company "The Union" provides expensive prosthesis to improve the lives of the clients. However, the company sends repo men to retrieve the artificial organs for those that do not pay the installments. The former soldiers Remy and his best friend Jake are among the best repo men of the company; however Remy's job cost his marriage and his wife Carol leaves him. When Remy is ready to request to be transferred to the sales department expecting to save his marriage, he has an accident with a defibrillator and he needs heart transplantation. The prosthesis is very expensive and Remy changes his behavior after the medical procedure, and he is no longer capable of chasing the debtors. Meanwhile Remy helps the singer Beth, who owes a large amount to The Union, and sooner they are chased by the repo men.
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.
I remember being disappointed by it when it first came out but after rewatching it, I actually quite enjoyed it. <br/><br/>I find it pretty topical and I liked that cognitive dissonance was so predominate. It felt pretty tongue in cheek of the genre. I wished they had fleshed out Beth more, but given the ending some of the things I may have had a problem with don't matter. And the fact that it was telegraphed early on made it pretty easy for me to just enjoy it. <br/><br/>The narration is fairly entertaining, acting isn't bad, cool tech, good action. Overall yeah, not bad for me. Maybe it's because I watched those 80s movies though, my standards are lowered.<br/><br/>Great production value, decent acting, interesting commentary on cognitive dissonance. Great action, pretty cool tech. Not sure how this could be rated more poorly than some of the old shitty ones, like Nemesis for example.
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…wella 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.<br/><br/>Despite a great premise and a visually attractive futurist setting, Repo Man never really got it going. It has some great ideas and a lot of potential but the execution isn't the best. The direction was very uninspired to say the least. Regarding the cast, I think they did an OK job. Jude Law is one of my favorite actors and undeniably a talented one but the material is so poor that his performance suffered from it. No one, has such a change of heart, after a literal change of heart. No one changes that much from day to night, he just doesn't happen. Forest Whitaker's character is completely unlikable and I thought the actor's mannerisms were extremely annoying. The gorgeous Alice Braga was OKthe female interest who's body is more mechanic then human, but again, she didn't have much to work with.<br/><br/>Any moral debate or philosophical discussions were sadly pushed to the side in favor of sleek and shiny sets (when the film should have a mysterious and decadent, almost noir feel to it) and flashy slow-motion action sequences with a bit of gore and lots of blood. I enjoy action sequencesmuchthe next guy, specially when well executed but, this story should be all about morals and humanity and what makes us human, where do we draw the line and so on, all things that were never addressed. In the second half of the film, things start to move a bit faster and with more vigor and there's a very interesting scene near the end when Remy and Beth have to open themselves up and register their organs so that they can be free; which I thought was very well done and probably the best scene of the entire film, however, I have to judge the filma whole. The huge twist in the end is clever and unexpected but not exactly satisfying, plus many have been saying that it's a rip off of the film Brazil (1985) which I haven't seen. To me, it actually reminds me a lot of the final twist in Vanilla sky. Overall, Repo Man, suffered from a uninspiring direction and a very poor script which is a shame because it had the potential to be a tremendous sci-fi film.<br/><br/>6/10
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.
Repo Men is based on the novel The Repossession Mambo by Eric Garcia. It's called "Burn My Shadow" 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.
