In
the futuristic action-thriller Repo Men, humans have extended and improved our
lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a
company called The Union. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that
if you don’t pay your bill, The Union sends its highly skilled repo men to take
back its property…with no concern for your comfort or survival.
Jude Law plays Remy, one of the best organ repo men in the business. But when
he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with
the company’s top-of-the-line heart-replacement…as well as a hefty debt. But a
side effect of the procedure is that his heart’s no longer in the job. When he
can’t make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy’s former
partner Jake (Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker), to track him down.
Now that the hunter has become the hunted, Remy joins Beth (Alice Braga),
another debtor who teaches him how to vanish from the system. And as he and Jake
embark on a chase across a landscape populated by maniacal friends and foes, one
man will become a reluctant champion for thousands on the run.
