This film was really, really fucking stupid. Like, offensively so.

All in all, mildly entertaining...but still entertaining.

On top of everything else wrong with this movie, whoever was in charge of selecting the music did a terrible job.

Less imaginative, but a little more polished than the movie it took the concept from (the genetic opera). Law and Whitaker aren't bad, but the plot doesn't really offer anything to set it apart from films that have done this kind of thing better. The "Burn My Shadow" bit was pretty neat though.

You've got to be kidding me.

The first 30 minutes are only on allright level but then the movie starts to be interesting and it goes great.

Fans of sci-fi: definitely give this a try. Those who are squeamish about operations and open wounds: consider yourself warned! I found the realistic look of some shots disgusting to the point of being almost unable to keep watching; they are, however, along with the indifference towards these acts, part of the unique world of the film. One nitpick: why make the setup (you'll know what scene I'm referring to) at the begin so extremely obvious?

Hahahaha, could they have written a worse ending? Maybe the twist could have revealed that Jude Law is a clone! and the organ companies are actually run by aliens!! who are fulfilling a blood pact with satan!!! Really anything would have paid about as much respect to the plot as the actual twist did.

Underrated movie which explores a world wherein organs get reposessed if not paid on time. Awesome ending and I Loved the 'Oldboy' fight scène, although I didnt see a strong link between both movies. Loved seeing Carice van Houten play her part so well :), I'm proud of her.

+ might want to skip this one

Good ending.

unlikely sci-fi thriller starring jude law and forest whitaker, highly derivative and largely uncompelling

A harmless sci-fi thriller about a couple of guys who excel at bringing harm to those poor lads and lasses who can't keep up with the 19.8% APR. The ending has all the necessary elements for ruining the movie for approximately half of the people who watch it. If you are unfortunate enough to fall in the half that hates it, just remember this: you could have been watching Biodome.

now this was a pleasant surprise for me, an over-the-top, gory action sci-fi, moulded in the same cast of 80s Verhoeven movies. the story is pretty much predictable, and one may say this style was out of fashion 20 years ago, but I'd say *fuck that* and take this movie as a lesser example of the great ones, such as Total Recall or Existenz.

Jude Law is a serial killer repossessing artificial organs from deadbeats in the future, who suddenly develops a sense of remorse when he gets fitted with an artificial heart himself. Leaving aside the preposterous notion that any society would permit a medical corporation to commit wholesale murder against delinquent account holders, this film presents no likable characters and a central romance based entirely on a smoky look across a crowded bar. Only the ending salvages the silliness.

If Repo Men wasn't as derivative as it is, or if its story actually mattered by the end, it would have been a very fun and interesting movie. As it is, it's fun as long as you don't take it too seriously or think too deeply about it. Doing that ruins all of the fun that it does present, and will also make you feel like you wasted a lot of your time. The ending will feel like it comes out of nowhere, and at least you can discuss whether or not you liked that after the film ends.
