Repo Men is not a bad movie. It's actually better than I thought it'd be. Its plot is quite complicated and I wonder how many people will get it.

The premise of the plot is that of people being able to install mechanical organs only if you don't make the payments the Repo man comes to take it back, which as you can assume means a lot of blood and a lot of cutting so it's not for the movie is not for the faint of heart. When our hero gets injured during one of the repossessions he gets a false heart implanted, but then needs to pay for it. Losing his stomach for repossessions he's on the run, etc.

The plot is actually not bad. The idea of how companies plant us as seeds to plow and reap when the time comes. There is a scene where the repo men come to reap in an abandoned area which really reminds one of the reaping of crop fields. It's a simple point but is somehow nicely driven home in this story. I think it gives a strong image to how many feel corporation act, only gives it a very literal interpretation.

In case people don't know there is a brilliant skit in Monthy Python's The meaning of life where people come to collect organs from an organ donor. The problem is that the donor is quite alive and well and is not ready to give away his organs.

The movie is also very much about male companionship and what it means. A must read for it is the nice discussion on Bar fights and the male psyche . There is simply no way for men to touch each other except by fighting and the scene where Jude Law fights with Forest Whitaker is quite funny as it shows itself very much as a sex scene (with Whitaker licking his lips, if I remember correctly).
The wife both interrupts Whitaker and Law but also Law and his son.

Spoiler alert Spoiler alert Spoiler alert - no reading beyond this point until after you see the film.

I really liked the twist ending. There are two twists in the movie. First we discover that Law's accident wasn't a real accident but Whitaker caused it as Law was about to stop being a partner with him because of his wife. This was a way to keep him.
The second twist is that the entire happy ending, which has quite a stupid plot all of a sudden, is the imagination of Law. You see Forest kills his body, but you can now save your mind and let it continue dreaming away (and Whitaker is willing to pay for this). This connects the movie nicely with Avatar. It's smart.

In the movie Law is also writing a book, The Repossession Mambo (on which the film is actually based), and so the idea is also how the guy is dreaming-up/writing-up a happy ending in his book, though in real life there is none. This is not a novel cinematic technique, but the explanation here is particularly smart. Much nicer than the usual dream excuse.

End spoiler.

Is it a good film? Is it worth going to? I personally don't like Jude Law, and i didn't like the actress, so that made the film weak for me. I think the film has one very strong scene of the mass reaping of the crops, and a reasonably smart plot. Why not, but definitely not a must.
