I had the unfortunate luck of being convinced to go see the movie "Repo Men" last Sunday. I must admit that I had not once had the desire to see this film but decided to comply as I was going to see it with friends. I do like Jude Law, but that's beside the point.
Repo Men is about the future in which a (monopoly) company offers the residents of the world artificially created organs at an unaffordable price, thus forcing the purchases to be made on credit. If payments are past-due by XX number of days the 'Repo Men' come and reclaim the goods.
Disgusting, cheesy, nonsensical. This movie left me confused, bored and quite frankly mad that I had to sit through it. Too graphic with organ retrieval scenes, too many plot holes and very sad action scenes (think swinging saws and hammers... really, hammers?!?). OH! And my personal favourite- intercourse DURING organ removal. No lie.
The only saving grace was a technical glitch which happened during viewing where the lights turned on and the movie stopped playing mid terrible-action-scene. I thought of it as the Movie Gods answering my prayers. To my disappointment they fixed the issue, but thankfully they did give us all free movie passes for the inconvenience. The staff were standing at the doors when we were exiting saying "sorry for the technical glitch, here's a free movie". They should have been saying "sorry for the two hours of your life you will not get back, the least we could do is a free movie".
DO NOT see this movie. If you do, we are no longer friends. It was quite possibly the worst movie I have ever had to see. In the words of Meryl Streep in DWP, "That's all."
