Review: Repo Men

Repo Men is the newest Sci-Fi/Action movie this spring. The movie takes place in a distant, but realistic future where your life expectancy can be greatly increased by artificial organs. This increase in life expectancy comes at a price though, usually a six figure price. But, the people who sell the organs state that payment plans can be made that fit your lifestyle. With any thing that you make payments on, you can fall behind in payment. In this world that can place you in a life threatening situation. This is the exact situation that Remy(Jude Law), the Repo man that the story follows, finds himself in. As the movie's tag-line says, For a price, any organ in your body can be replaced. But it can also be repossessed.

I'll be honest with you I am very conflicted in what I think of this movie. Having only seen it 5 hours ago, I am torn on how I feel about it. Repo Men has a very good premise and is set in a future that is fantastic, yet believable. The execution of this premise is for the most part very well done. The acting felt real and organic, you could believe that these people exist in the real world. Although the movie started off slow the full range of emotions were covered. There were moments when I laughed, was mad, or wanted to shed a tear.

The main complaint that I have with Repo Men is the ending. It is not about how the ending was executed or acted, but literally how the movie ended. That is really my only complaint, but it is only an opinion and not anything I can fault the movie for.

Overall: I loved the movie, but hated that ending.....
