In the futuristic action-thriller Repo Men, humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called The Union.
While the stars of this film are indeed famous names and relatively good actors they seem to have been given little to no direction in this film. There is also a lack of any real atmosphere or actual care put into the production.
A more important fact is the strong resemblence to the plot of a cult film " Repo The Genetic Opera " a 2008 film which has the premise of, guess what, the repossession of organs.
I would consider this to be a one watcher, though a rentable one at that and not to buy.

When Remy (Jude Law) fails to keep up on payments for his recent heart transplant, his former partner vows to take back the organ by force if necessary. Meanwhile, Remy finds an unexpected ally in the form of his long-lost wife, Beth (Sonia Braga), who has also been retrofitted with numerous artificial organs. Now, despite the fact that they haven't seen each other since Remy joined the army ten years ago, the desperate repo man and his sympathetic wife attempt a daring escape from a man who holds the lives of millions in the palm of his hands.
Jude Law and Forest Whitaker star in this dystopian sci-fi action thriller based on a novel by Eric Garcia. Supplying sophisticated and hugely expensive artificial organs to those in need, multinational company 'The Union' has a virtual monopoly on life and death. Unfortunately, for those who can't keep up the repayments, the firm's repo men are despatched to reclaim company property - no matter the consequences for the customer. After suffering a heart attack on the job, top repo man Remy (Law) wakes to find the company have fitted him with the latest heart replacement, along with a sizeable debt repayment. Unable to make the payments, and rapidly losing his taste for the job, Remy goes on the run, teaming up with his former wife Beth (Alice Braga) who is also fleeing the system. Now pursued by his former partner, Jake (Whitaker), Remy must utilise all the skills he possesses to turn the tables on his former employers.
