Repo Men is a failure of great cinematography. Seems like the art of unknown has really been forgotten in the process of making this movie as it is filled with unnecessary disgusting scene of killing and ripping someone flesh.
Brief Synopsis
2025, where human health has been deteriorating and the demand of organ transplant has incredibly jump up. Therefore, here comes the union as usual acting as an organisation that is slowly consuming either innocents or sinners just to gain great sales of artificial organ transplant.
Due to the cost of the AI organ, repo-men is needed to collect the organ from people who can't afford to meet the monthly payment. No matter what is the reason, repo-men is a human without feeling will just ripped off the AI organ from anyone even though they are still alive.
Remy (Jude Law), is one of the best repo-men that the union have. One day, his best friend Jake (Forest Whitaker) is devastated with Remy plan to quit the repo-men position. Hence, Jake then set-up Remy to become one of the AI organ user itself.
Since then, Remy finally realizes what has he done and now living a live being hunted by the repo-men.
Review
Remy is a well executed character but not fully developed yet as it seems to be lacking of dark element inside this character. However, Jude Law seems to has done his best bringing this character alive if I may see. So do, Forest Whitaker, as usual always end up in a character that either good or bad.
The biggest disappointment is the movie is filled with unnecessary scene of violence that will put you down to know more about it. The movie will make you sick and finally for some will say "enough is enough" and turn of the TV or maybe walked out from the cinema.
Its too bad and sad to see a great actor in a badly directed movie. The movie would have been okay if they just omitted the bloody killing scene and especially the ending climax scene which I can't believe that the director really go through it.
However, in term of the story line, the movie has a similar plot with the movie "NEXT" starring Nicolas Cage, only repo-men has a different premise and storyline. Well, I might say the drama is not well developed as the audience is only left with only a bit story about his conflicts with his family and rather more focus on the Repo-men activity.
Overall, I would just say that the movie is disappointing as it is.
hmmmm.
