Great Story, Good Movie, Not Worthy of the Negative reviews
Do you love intelligent sci-fi that doesn't make you over-think and reconcile convoluted plot lines and instead pulls you in with story and human emotion? Then don't let the jaded turn you off of this movie. Instead fire up the DVD player, get some...

Great Story, Good Movie, Not Worthy of the Negative reviews
Do you love intelligent sci-fi that doesn't make you over-think and reconcile convoluted plot lines and instead pulls you in with story and human emotion? Then don't let the jaded turn you off of this movie. Instead fire up the DVD player, get some popcorn and get ready for pure entertainment. * Though uniformly trashed by critics, who may not have sat through the whole movie, it should be noted that the same was true of "Blade Runner" when it opened in theatres. If Blade Runner is the white collar worker, Repo Men is it's blue-collar counterpart. Repo Men skews closer to "The Island", "Total Recall" and the "Sixth Day" and less so to it's over-serious brethren "Gattaca", "Code 41" and "Children of Men." Repo Men is just plain fun. * "Remy (Jude Law) and Jake (Forest Whitaker) are best friends and The Union's most dangerous repossession men, reclaiming top-dollar organs when recipients fall behind on their payments. But after an on-the-job accident forces Remy to be outfitted with a top-of-the-line heart replacement, he finds himself in debt and on the run." * Jude Law (Remy) clicks as the father who must reconcile his "work hard, play hard" youth with his wife's desire for more face-time and nights at home. Forest Whitaker (Jake) smolders as the perpetual single war-buddy bent on keeping Remy in the Repo Men corps and away from a soul-killing desk job. Alice Braga is convincing as the lounge-singer who opens Remy's eyes to the hypocritical policies of the Union. The policy of selling exorbitantly priced artificial organs to those who may not be able to afford them. This opens up the question of when we can prolong human life through artificial organs ¿ who decides who lives and who dies. Will it be a double standard that serves the rich and penalizes the poor? Last, Liev Schreiber (Frank) delivers a humorous turn as the organ salesman who has the scruples and selling chops of a used-car salesman.
