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.
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.
Movies like Repo Men are those that take interesting, even fascinating, premises and butcher them to the point of disfigurement; a bland cookie- cutter version of how the plot could have unravelled. In addition to the obvious plot arc that can easily be surmised from the trailers, any good will built up over the running time is similarly bastardized by a horrendous final twist that is not only nonsensical but cheap. This reveal is not only blatantly alluded to early on but even for those who did not pick up on it will not be surprised by the finale. In yet another paint-by-numbers dystopian future where highly advanced artificial organs are now a reality, we follow two repo men by the names of Remy (Jude Law) and Jake (Forest Whitaker) whose task it is to reclaim said organs from customers who have fallen behind on payments. They gleefully extract hearts, livers, kidneys, etc leaving their former customers on the wrong side of alive. Yet, after an on the job accident leaves Remy himself with an 'artiforg', as they are called, and subsequently is unable to make payments he goes on the run. With the help of a woman who is nearly all 'fake' so to speak (it is eye-rolling developments like this that make up Repo Men) he tries to bring down his former employer with Jake hot on his trail. Thank goodness at the center of it all we get three solid performances from Jude Law and Forest Whitaker as the titular repo men, and Liev Schreiber as their morally defunct boss. Without this trio to ground the movie in some realm of watchability this could have been an unmitigated disaster instead of just a near-disaster. The gore is ample in Repo Men but it appears in all the wrong places. Instead of using the violent repossessions as tentpole instances of shock, they pepper the story with such frequency, everything becomes white-washed (or should I say red- washed) and muted in effectiveness. I will admit, there are some well choreographed, badass action sequences but they can do little to lift the remaining material. Even with these kinetic bursts, the characters at the center are all so unlikable, whether they live or die becomes moot. Are we truly supposed to root for a murderer just because he had a moral epiphany and who in addition cheats on his wife after she condemns his job and then proceeds to abandon her and his son? All this is loosely strung together by a bland and sporadic voice-over which serves no discernible purpose. There are so many unanswered questions floating around Repo Men. What has happened to lead up to this future? What is government like to give this company absolute power to slaughter countless people? And where is the money in selling organs to those who cannot pay anyways? It is questions like these and more that leave Repo Men a vapid and unmemorable vision of the future with little to say about much of anything.
Here is a movie which received lots and lots of negative reviews which, in my opinion, it did not deserve. Yes,!!(SPOILER)!! it might look like the 1985 "Brazil" as so many critics claim, but then again most of the movies today (late 2000's and on) are in my opinion licked off their 20th century predecessors and big successes. For a sci-fi, this picture is one worth watching for at least two reasons: 1)the plot is wrapped in a futuristic cloak which quite frankly fits with modern world issues, a quality many movies lack today, and !!(SPOILER)!! 2) it is bloody, dirty and filthy exactly the way it should be, no less and no more. Now I have read some reviews where the movie is blamed to be exactly that, an unnecessary bloodbath, but it simply cannot be otherwise. As for the sarcastic comments concerning !!(SPOILER)!! the unrealistic fight scenes and surgical operations beyond survival reality, PLEASE do not forget that this is nothing but !!(SPOILER)!! a plot of the main hero's imagination, a dream. "Inception" was full of this, so why is "Repo Men" so bullied? More importantly, and that's really the point of this probably long and boring review is that many critics are missing the point of the movie: its message. Hurrying to bury it in "unnecessary violence" and "unchecked reality", many forget that it sends out a clear message about where we are going. It is really, as some said, a satire (and a very sad one) of our "merchandised", "customer-based" reality. The ending in my opinion is somewhat expected, but then again it is absolutely brilliant, wrapping and putting all the "rough stitches" back in place for the "meticulous" viewers. I especially liked the "cat reference" in the movie, something many have probably never paid attention to. Really, !!(SPOILER)!! Remy is exactly that, the cat. Everything came back to the beginning, a prophecy. I recommend this movie for people who are not afraid of gore where it is inevitable and who like their films to be with a grain of thought in them, something an awful lot of so-called "blockbusters" today absolutely lack.
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. a5c7b9f00b
