Storline : Repo Men is a futuristic thriller that tells the story of Remy (Law) and Jake (Whitaker), working for a corporation called The Union. The corporation has perfected the use of bio-mechanical organs and makes these organs available to rich clients or to those with a good credit score. If a client lags behind on the payments by 3 months, Repo men are sent to retrieve the organ which usually results in the death of the client. Remy and Jake are exceptional repo men at the union. Remy has an unhappy marriage with Carol (van Houten), which causes them to separate. Unsure if his job is ethical, Remy tries his hand at sales and fails miserably, causing him to return to repossession of organs. The story takes a twist when Remy comes across Beth (Page) a client who is due on multiple organ transplants and falls in love with her. Remy has a change of heart and goes to any extent to protect Beth from The Union. An interesting concept, Repo Men deserves a watch.
