Los Recolectores

This movie is a great analogy between what happened due to "the innovations" in the financial world. Example: "Sure you need to buy this house and sign for the mortgage ... you owe it to yourself ... you owe it to your family" ... And a couple of years later they take away your house and leave you with a great debt that also ruins your life and may even cost your life. More and more people are not able to cope anymore and commit suicide and sometimes even kill their own young children to "spare them". The people that come to collect or sell your stuff can be compared with the repo man. They can do it, until they're a victim themselves ... What I didn't like about this representation of how the system has become way more important than what is was for ... is the amount of blood. Still, it makes it all the more horribly and painfully clear what we're dealing with here ... What I liked about the story, is how it's presented that the bond between two people ain't all that clear. It was astounding to find out how it finally turns out what Jake has arranged for Remy.

Can't believe all the lowball ratings on here. It's a solid sci-fi, it's not going to blow you away but you're not going to be sorry you watched it.

When this movie came out, I immediately thought of the film:"Repo The Genetic Opera" by Terrance Zdunich. But NOPE! Even though its basically an exact carbon copy, minus the lower budget and singing, Repo Men is the exact same story. I was pretty shocked to learn it was not made by Zdunich, and could find nothing online regarding litigation or even any mention of the literal sameness between the two stories. This was an okay movie, but it just felt like it could have gone so much further, been more hardcore, cooler, enthralling and less obvious. But again, this story was already done and then some in Repo, The Genetic Opera. NOt everyone has the same "tastes" or sense of whats good, so be your own judge. But the musical was cooler.

Repo Men came out in 2010 so it's 9 years old but doesn't feel dated at all.

Stars Jude Law, Forest Whitaker and Liev Schreiber and they don't disappoint.

The movie is categorized as Action, Crime, Sci-Fi but i would add Dark Comedy as well.

I gave it an 8 but was tempted to go 9.

That's all i can think of right now :)

Just a great old fashioned action/thriller that is not watered down for a PG-13 rating. Thought it held up quite well and Jude Law, Forest Whitaker and Liev Schreiber were having a blast playing these over the top characters. Seems like a lot of reviewers are taking it much to seriously. Watch it for the entertainment that it is and you will not be disappointed!
