Repo Men (2010) Movie Review

Nix July 10, 2010

A pinch of Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil”, a dash of David Fincher’s “Fight Club”, and some sprinklings of David Cronenberg’s “Crash”, and you have Miguel Sapochnik’s “Repo Men”. Made for $30-plus million (though the film looks much more expensive) and dumped into theaters without a whole lot of studio confidence earlier this year, you’ll be hard-pressed to know the film even exists unless you were looking for it. Co-written by Eric Garcia from his novel “The Repossession Mambo”, first-time feature film director Miguel Sapochnik offers up a near-future world where human organs can easily be replaced by artificial versions if you have the money. Or heck, even if you don’t, you can still get one and pay the obscene interests later. Using what can generously be described as predatorial practices, The Union Corporation has such a thriving, lucrative business that it’s able to send out repo men, essentially glorified murderers, to reclaim parts once payment on the organs become past due….

Nix March 19, 2010

Can’t believe I forgot this, but better late than never: Miguel Sapochnik’s “Repo Men” opens today. Did you see it? The film stars Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, Alice Braga, Liev Schreiber, Carice van Houten, and finds Law and Whitaker playing the repo men of the title, except instead of cars, they go after your human organs. It all goes bad for our hero Jude when he becomes one of the people he’s been hunting down. They call that irony. Humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called The Union. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don’t pay your bill, The Union sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property… with no concern for your comfort or survival. Remy is one of the best organ repo men in the business. But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens… Continue Reading »

New Repo Men Images and Hunt For Cash

Nix February 25, 2010

Just the other day I was lamenting Universal’s lack of promotion for their big-budget sci-fi movie “Repo Men”. Turns out, they might just be biding their time, because this came in the e-mail today. A new batch of images and a “Repo Men are Coming” hunt, a type of viral campaign to promote the show. More info on the “hunt” below, then after that, new images from the movie. Starting today, four Runners, with a $7,500 bounty on each of their heads, kicked off a first-of-its-kind event to find out what it’s like to be hunted – and YOU can do the hunting. On behalf of Universal Pictures, I’m excited to announce the launch of the nationwide REPO MEN – HUNT, sending runners on the loose in America! The Union is offering select men and women the opportunity to join their exclusive force of repo experts. The Repo Men must use the internet, their wits, and any other legal means… Continue Reading »

Hey, Remember Repo Men? Two New Posters Show Up

Nix February 23, 2010

For a film with its budget and A-list cast, Miguel Sapochnik’s sci-fi actioner “Repo Men” sure doesn’t seem to be getting a whole lot of love from the studio in terms of PR. There was the trailer, and some posters (two of which are below), but that’s about it. The film is opening in a month, and most people don’t even know what it’s about. That could change, but it’s doubtful the studio is suddenly going to throw money at it as the release date nears. Anyways, two new posters have popped up online. The first looks like a cool Frank Miller drawing, but the second one is just not even trying. In the future humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called “The Union”. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don’t pay your bill, “The Union” sends its highly skilled repo men to… Continue Reading »

Jude Law in a Bloody, Action-Packed Repo Men Trailer

Nix December 24, 2009

So there’s this sci-fi movie called “Repo Men”, starring Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, and Liev Schreiber. From what I can tell, it looks like a pretty expensive, slick, big-budget sci-fi action movie, too. And, um, I didn’t know it existed until now. Go figure. Check out a red band trailer for “Repo Men”, which looks a lot like “Logan’s Run” with human organs. The film has Jude Law playing, from what I can tell, his first ever leading man role in what is a full blown action movie. No real method acting here, just pure sci-fi action and spraying blood. Lots of that in the future when you’re dealing with guys who repossesses human organs — by literally cutting them out of their “wearers”. Set in the near future when artificial organs can be bought on credit, it revolves around a man who struggles to make the payments on a heart he has purchased. He must therefore go on the… Continue Reading »
