Repo Men

Last night I watched Repo Men.  Remy and Jake are repo men for an artificial organ company.  If you become 3 weeks behind in your payment for your organ, they come and cut it out leaving you for dead.  Conflict comes when Remy gets an artificial heart and cannot pay for it.  He meets a woman with a lot of artificial organs that are past due and together they run from the repo men.

I did not like this movie.  I did not identify with any of the characters; they were very one dimentional.  The violence consisted of knife fights, trading punches, and cutting out organs.  None of which looked very cool.  The main characters seemed impervious to pain, cutting and punching each other and then getting right back up.  This could have been a more compelling plot, but poor acting and directing just didn't do it for me.

I really wouldn't recomend this to anyone.  It's not a very good action movie, nor gore fest.  Skip it and go see the Bourne movies.

IMDB:  Based on a book, called "The Repossession Mambo" which is reason enough not to see this movie
