Review of Repo Men

Repo Men (2010)
6/10
Repo Men entertaining but not original
14 October 2010
Repo Men is a futuristic movie about a company that sells lab-grown internal organs to their customers. When customers fail to pay, Repo Men claim the organs that leads to the termination of the client (since the organ is what keeps them alive). Since the organs are very expensive, it is very common that customers can't keep up with their payments and end up dead.

The story develops into more chase-action sequences in the second act when Repo Man, Remy (Jude Law) needs a heart himself and predictably enough can't pay it back. It is a classic story of hunter becomes the hunted or killer becomes the victim. It has science fiction elements and driven by action scenes. It is entertaining. The problem is that there is nothing unique about it.

At the end, you may feel that you watched slightly different version of another science fiction or action movie you have seen before. I don't want to tell you the names of those movies in case you have not seen them (or if you have seen them, you will probably guess how this one may conclude). I think 6 is a fair rate for this movie.
