Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Excellent adaptation.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The part I enjoyed most about this film is it's portrayal of how reasonable, intelligent can justify their own evil actions. They remind themselves that "if they didn't do it, someone else would", they argue it from a capitalist perspective - if we didn't enforce the rules, then no one would pay and this service couldn't exist. They support each other in their actions as shown in the bar scene where they use humor to cast their actions in a less serious light.**SPOILER** In addition, I thought the ending of the movie raises an interesting question about whether it really mattered that Remy was in a 'dream'. In other words, did Jake actually make Remy's life better by setting him up with that neuro device?I also had to give it -1 for the gratuitous gore.

Title: Repo MenCondensed Storyline: In the world of organ repossessions a repo man gets into an accident where he needs to have his heart replaced, but he struggles to make the payments, this is when he goes on the run and becomes what he used to hunt.Notable Acting: The actors in this movie are casted great, I do enjoy the chemistry between Jude Law's character and Forest Whitaker's character, this is the most important part of a buddy cop movie I was feeling kind of meh about Alice Braga's character, but that is mainly because I would like to see a film where two characters of the opposite sex do not hook up together. I understand that she was there to show him the life of those who live in fear of repo, but I would have preferred that they didn't get together. Noticeable Camera work: The camera work is a mixture between faced paced work for when the action comes along but then slows down to a more relaxed way of viewing when it is time for conversations and such. The angles leave a bit to be desired though, they aren't all too creative. But they get the point across and you see what you need to see.Overall Feel: Chases are I will compare this movie to 'Repo The Genetic Opera' a lot as they are very similar movies. Fans of 'Repo The Genetic Opera' have mixed feelings about this movie as 'Repomen' basically took the entire storyline of 'Repo The Genetic Opera' and made it their own. Repoman does the job that family doesn't like, problems arise and he turns against the company his works for before dying in the end. But I feel that this movie does enough things differently in this movie to justify it, the more works more on the buddy cop theme than anything else, and the repo is just plot mover. They also take their character to different levels, because in this movie the main Repoman becomes what he is paid to hunt and gets hunted for it, whereas in 'Repo The Genetic Opera' the main Repoman gets hunted because he will not kill the friend of his dead wife. This movie uses bio-mechanical organs which is a nice adaption and would seem more feasible in their future time. This is the only movie which has sex, surgery, computer hacking scene. That is creative to say the very least. The twist that happens at the end of the movie is very nicely executed and my use of language gives you the hint, but it wasn't expected on my part. But I found it a great ending to say the least. The movie is quite bouncy in the fact that is switches from funny face to serious face a lot and generally back and forth a lot, not that I have a problem with it. I enjoyed this movie, but I still prefer 'Repo The Genetic Opera' as I enjoyed it's whole cast of characters along with its original organ repo idea.

In the near future, a mega company called 'The Union' has sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs that can be bought on credit. When the customers can't pay, they bring in Repo Men. Remy (Jude Law) is one of those repo men. Jake (Forest Whitaker) is a fellow repo man and a brute. Remy has known Jake since childhood when Jake was a big bully. Frank (Liev Schreiber) is the cold hearted organ salesman. After a failed extraction with a faulty shocker, Remy is given an artificial heart. His wife kicks him out for still keeping the job. That's when he starts having difficulties with his job.It's a fascinating sci-fi concept. The audience badly needs a reason to root for these characters. It takes way too long to get the story to where Remy becomes compelling. It could easily chop off a chunk from the first half to speed up the pacing. The visual style has a slight Blade Runner vibe added to today's Toronto. It's not the best mid-range movie with big budget aspirations. The effects are not up to the top levels, and the action could be better. So could the movie have been much better.

After the first 40 minutes or so, I wasn't sure if I liked this or not. I could see that the movie wasn't too ambitious, and seemed to shoehorn some elements (family problems, love interests etc.) that we just apparently have to have in every movie. But, it did get better towards the end. I can appreciate some aspects in this film, even though it does lack certain qualities."Repo Men" reminds me of many movies based on Philip K. Dick's stories. It isn't one, but it damn well could be. There are themes that are familiar from "Minority Report", "Impostor", "Equilibrium" and even to some extent "Total Recall". All those films are clearly above this one, but I'd say this is worth seeing at least once.The main flaw with this movie is that it doesn't always seem to know what it is and what it wants to make us feel. We do get basically everything: characters, drama, action, explicit non-PG13 violence, humor, sci-fi, a catchphrase and even a little twist - but it lacks a certain focus and some opportunities are lost, thus taking away from the impact. These tonal changes don't always work. Add a soundtrack that's sometimes very good and other times the exact opposite, and you get a movie that tries too hard for what it is, leaving many people disappointed.Jude Law does a decent enough job, and Forest Whitaker is always fun to watch, even though he's hamming it up a bit sometimes (not necessarily a bad thing). Liev Schreiber is entertaining as the face of the corporation.Think of it as a B-movie along the lines of "Impostor", that would be my advice. As such, it is entertaining and does it's job, and can possibly surprise some people in a positive way. There's no 100M dollar CGI budget either, so it's easier to digest this way. The sci-fi elements are certainly not hard sci-fi, so take it as it is. A simple adequate movie that often misses the mark, but never by a mile. If you have nothing to do on a rainy day, might as well see this - it's definitely not a disaster. I don't regret getting the blu-ray at a discount. Probably won't watch it again, but no regrets nonetheless.
