Repo Men: Organ Grinding For The 21st Century
Imagine yourself requiring a heart transplant on the NHS. Then imagine having to buy the replacement organ on credit. You miss one repayment and your new heart gets repossessed. Sounds crazy? Not in the futuristic movie Repo men directed by Miguel Sapochnik.
Jude Law plays Remy, a skilled repo man who falls in to debt of the company he works for by way of an expensive replacement heart. Forest Whitaker is Remy's ex-partner at the company and is given the task of reclaiming the heart.
Repo Men is based on the novel 'Repossession Mambo' by Eric Garcia, which looks to be an inventive sci-fi based story. It doesn't look like the movie will provide Oscar nominations for Jude Law or director Sapochnik, but it will appeal to fans of entertaining over the top film romps such as Crank. There has been some controversy about the film already with Repo! The Genetic Opera director Darren Lynn saying Repo Men is a blatant rip-off or his earlier film, judge for yourself by watching the trailer below.
Repo Men is expected to be released on the 16th April 2010.
