In a futuristic time humans can be re-manufactured to good health by having bad or damaged body parts replaced with new organs by a company known as the Union. But just like a car, if you fall behind on the payments, the repo man will come and retrieve the body part from you. Remy (Law) and Jake (Whitaker) are the two top repo men who work under Union director Frank (Schreiber). Things are good until Remy, by cause of a freak accident happens to need an organ so that he may live. But when he is unable to keep up with the payments he become the target of the other repo men including his former partner Jake who are ordered to reclaim the body part.
Reel Talk:
Not a scary movie, but a scary movie on the bases that this could actually become reality. You need a body part and can't afford it, then someone is assigned to cut you open and take the body part back, is something to really think about. This blood and gore depiction of how the future may be regarding health issues was very interesting at best. The chemistry of Law's charm and Whitaker's brutish brawn makes for a good movie. This film is not recommended for the faint of hearts.
