This was too long, mean, and gory for me, though the satirical gloss and well-executed trick ending will probably impress some.

Better and smarter than you might expect.

The overused homages and a tacked-on twist ending are just failed attempts to save Repo Men from its own shallow blood lust.
July 4, 2010 | Rating: 3.4/10 | Full Review… -
One of the worst endings of any film, ever. Seriously. Ever.
April 21, 2010 | Rating: 1/5 -
Great stuff at first, but when Law grows a conscience and goes underground with the uninsured, the narrative excitement slumps.
April 16, 2010 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
While Forest Whitaker's conflicted thug brings languid menace, there's little to up the tension. And among all the film's icky incisions, there's a feeling a better film is lying on the cutting room floor.

Audience Reviews for Repo Men

Aug 31, 2015Repo Men is a film that I don't think has ever been done before and why would it it's completely ridiculous, But it works so well, In the future if you can't pay for your organs they get repossessed, Easy plot some very graphic scenes too, With some great action it's got it all, And the twist at the end is one of the best in film today, People will love the end or feel like they just got a giant middle finger from the writers, Either way it's a great fun gory film that's full of shocks and will have you talking about the ending all night.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Apr 27, 2012Working for a mysterious, nefarious organization, two men collect organs on lease in the near future. Released in 2010, after the latest financial meltdown ravaged the U.S. economy, <i>Repo Men</i> is a satire clearly aimed at American big business, equating their greedy foreclosures with stealing people's lifeblood. It's clever, and the novel on which this film is based probably works better, but as a film, the exposition is entirely too long. Also, the characters degrade into gangster film cliches. Remy has the disapproving wife and innocent child, and he eventually grows a conscience about his work (but seems to have no problem with the blood-letting of his former co-workers), and Jake is as gung-ho as ever. We've seen these characters in many genres, and the concept doesn't do enough to set them apart. Other reviewers have revealed that there's a twist ending, so I'm able to say that I liked it without giving it away. Overall, there's a lot to like about the concept and the story here, but the characters remain types, not unique or fleshed-out people.Jim H Super Reviewer

Dec 19, 2011The RZA was pretty cool...I guess. The acting by Jude Law and Forrest Whitaker can't stop the terrible mess this film becomes in its 2nd half. The ending is like Brazil, a deus machina, but fails flat. Overall, the only outstanding positive part would be the gore and action which shows that you don't mess with the organ business.paul o Super Reviewer

Oct 08, 2011This action film is filled with tones of epic gun-shooting and blood/gore, and is definately worth the watch.Jacob P Super Reviewer
