In a not so beautiful world of the future bring back the Repo Men artificial organs from people who are in arrears with mortgage payments. The nasty group Union earns to terminally ill clients and uses silly and stupid like organs retrieved back several times. So the late payers are stunned by the Repo Men, and rid the body is not fully funded by surgical intervention spontaneous again. One of these literal Schlagetots but you'll need one day a new heart, he can not actually pay. And he is "customer" and has his merciless pals on the neck.
The author of the novel by Eric Garcia, and his screenplay co-author are great Monty Python fans. Quite obviously, the basic idea is based on the sketch "Living organ transplant" from the movie The Meaning of Life . The heroes look at the sequence even on TV, so the gentle friend, the film also just streamlined. And structurally it reminds so powerful in Brazil that it is tantamount to plagiarism, sorry, a tribute.
One of the problems: the twist in the middle of the film immediately recognize, and quickly finds himself in the face of increasingly absurd progress of his conjecture confirmed that nothing odd things. The surprise at the end fizzles therefore in ambition and vanity. But first you have attended at least some pretty brutal comic action scenes and a bizarre sex-surgery sequence.
It's a nice try, sure, but the satire does not reach the absurdity of the models, and irritates the seriousness of some segments. Much points to a satire or a farce, it is strange but serious and markets itself as a parable on the system of exploitation and as a commercial action hit. Much does not work here, especially in the contradictory characters and what motivates them and what they do. Some crisp dialogues, bloody gags, to the elegant style and exquisite performer we may confidently praise nonetheless.
