In the near
future you can get synthetic organs with good credit and regular payments but
if you fall behind the repo men will come and repossess those very organs.
The basic
concept is really not that interesting, I imagine they were aiming for
topicality with the mortgage crisis and everything else but in the end they
fail to explore it in any meaningful way.
The
protagonist, played by Jude Law, is one of the more unsympathetic characters I
have ever seen. He starts as a real bastard and it’s mildly fun to see him
going around and repossessing organs in various gory ways but his eventual
redemption is contrived and unconvincing.
The
direction is pedestrian, only a couple of fight scenes are somewhat
interesting, and even Jude Law fails to deliver a good performance.
The twist
ending is the final nail in the coffin, not only there is no one to root for,
the movie itself is really a depressing experience.
Not even a
Jude Law fan should sit through this.
