Repo Men

Repo Men is a 2010 science fiction action film directed by Miguel Sapochnik, starring Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, Liev Schreiber, Alice Braga, and Carice van Houten.

An American-Canadian production, it is based on the novel The Repossession Mambo by Eric Garcia and follows a repo man who goes on the run after he becomes the recipient of an artificial heart and finds himself suffering the same fate as his victims.

Waking up, Remy rescues Beth, a lounge singer he recognizes, who is suffering from drug use and her numerous artiforgs.

Breaking into the Union office, Remy attempts to clear his and Beth's accounts but is interrupted by Jake, who lets him leave.

He demands that Frank clear his account, only to discover this can now only happen at the Union's central office due to his earlier attempt.

Briefly subdued by an anti-Union freedom fighter, Remy decides to free all Union customers from debt.

Sometime later, Remy enjoys his freedom on a tropical beach with Beth and Jake, and Peter has published his father's manuscript, The Repossession Mambo.

Preparing to deal with an unconscious Beth, Jake says goodbye to Remy, while Frank delivers a sales pitch for the neural network.

Forest Whitaker has been a longtime student of Filipino Martial Arts under Dan Inosanto and it is featured heavily in the vicious blade and blunt-weapon fight scenes in the film.

The site's consensus is that "Repo Men has an intriguing premise as well as a likable pair of leads, but they're wasted on a rote screenplay, indifferent direction, and mind-numbing gore.

"[15] In the United States and Canada, Repo Men was released alongside The Bounty Hunter and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
