Repo Men

Post by HereComesPete »

Having grabbed a few random films over the last few days I decided to actually start watching some.

Repo Men

Jude Law and Forest Whittaker are organ repo men, their job is to collect on artificial body parts when the repayments are overdue.

This is quite incomplete as a story in that there's no reason why they can do their job with impunity or how a company works when there's such a high rate of repossession and so on.

But you know what? Fuck it. I quite liked it despite the flaws.

It's quite an easy going take on the grim world of the future idea and doesn't really try to shoehorn in some unnecessary over-arching idea on the inexorable base state of humanity and the conflicts this usually entails. And it's got a twist at the end that I didn't entirely expect and it's one of those kick in the balls ones which gets it extra points from me.

7/10
