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.
