Repo Men (2010)
7/10
A good afternoon filler with content
29 July 2018
When we think of repo men we think homes, cars, boats etc...., but in this case it is much more climactic, much more involved, it's much more personal. In the future a company collectively called The Union sells advancements in medical technology with bio-mechanical organs. Whether the recipient wants it or not they receive these organs at a steep price and if they fall behind in payments or can't pay the company sends repo men to retrieve said organs.

Remy (Jude Law) is one of the more elite repo men in the business. After a cardiac event he is fitted with a new bio heart unbeknownst to him. His partner Jake (Forest Whitaker) is ruthless and they have been friends since childhood. After Remy is fitted and back at work he realizes he can no longer take organs from people. The company sends Jake after him to retrieve his heart.

This is a pulse pounding, action filled sci-fi thriller and has decent performances by Law and Whitaker, strong character development. It is entertaining with it's story as it is different and draws the audience in. I give this a 7 out of 10.
