Re: Repo Men- J. Law and F. Whitaker as Organ Repo Men
I was asked to go see this with a friend. I had no plans on ever watching it even though the previews were ok. So I went in just to be going to the movies on a Saturday afternoon. Overall I enjoyed it for what it was. I did waste atleast 15 minutes trying to figure out where Beth came from, and why did they seem to have an connection. I asked my friend after it was over and they said "she was singing in the bar" I was like, well ok. I thought i had fell asleep and missed a flashback or something. Also I'm with Seantn, the company should've paid for his new heart for many of reasons. I'm 99% sure a company that big, dealing with health would have an amazing coverage on their workers lol. So yeah that was weird. Anyways it was fun and better than I had expected.

Movie was alright, just entirely too long. Enjoyed the gore factor and it had some fun moments, nicely shot, decently acted.
Script needed a rewrite.

Even though I agree with and understand the majority of critics ripping this apart. It's not a well made film... contrived, trite, all that stuff.
I enjoyed this. Law and Whittaker really clicked. Schreiber was good as usual. I loved the gore and the matter of fact approach to it. I enjoyed it in spite of the flaws.

Definitely could have been better, but I think the critical reception was a tad harsh this time around... movie should do pretty well via DVD.
I actually thought it was reasonably well made, but I wish they stuck with the goofy tone it had at the beginning of the movie. Once it got serious it all got a bit sluggish.

Better than I thought it would be. Nowhere near as violent as I had expected though. I actually enjoyed the twist ending.

As for the ending,
Spoiler:
I liked the ending as it had a creative way to toy with how many times action movies tend to devolve into wish fulfilment for the protagonists. Like the scene in

Just saw rented this on DVD. Overall I liked it but had alot of problems with the story:
Still, the future world they created was great! And Jude Law and the actress who plays Beth were excellent in the movie.
I will probably end up buying this movie.
