In the future, medical technology has advanced to the point where people can buy artificial organs to extend their lives. But if they default on payments, an organization known as the Union sends agents to repossess the organs. Remy (Jude Law) is one of the best agents in the business, but when he becomes the recipient of an artificial heart, he finds himself in the same dire straits as his many victims. With his former partner (Forest Whitaker) in hot pursuit, Remy runs for his life.

Critics Consensus

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.

This was too long, mean, and gory for me, though the satirical gloss and well-executed trick ending will probably impress some.

The overused homages and a tacked-on twist ending are just failed attempts to save Repo Men from its own shallow blood lust.

Rated: 3.4/10

Deep Focus Review

Should you see it, for most of the movie you’ll be thinking about its influences more than the movie itself. And when it’s all over, it feels like nearly two hours of missed opportunities.

Rated: 2/4

Standard mindless stuff then, which is shame - the set-up promised more. For a film all about a heart, it's shame it doesn't have any brain.

Rated: 2.5/5

Concept & Action scenes were on point, but the ending makes it lose all its credibility.

It's weird how I had overlooked this movie so, so many times, flicking through the cable TV channels, always thinking that it would be the 1984 classic with the same title. Only now did I realized that these are two very different movies with identical titles, only to confuse even a movie fan like me. Anyway, realizing my mistake, I finally watched it, being delighted that it had Jude Law, Liev Schreiber and Alice Braga (I'm not a fan of Forest Whitaker). The movie is cruel, brutal, in fact, quite merciless with a clever story, and for most parts enjoyably tense. Unfortunately at the very end it becomes outrageously and senselessly bloody, beyond the level of a John Wick movie (and that 4 years before the first one of the Wick franchise) only to finish in an absolutely unexpected twist. Too cruel and bloody for me, but I have to admit, very cleverly made. 7/10 points.

I adore this weird little cult film because it's not the opera nor a Hot Topic shopper's erotic dream. Great leads, solid acting all around, ghoulish violence and humor, and last but not least: the absolute best (and possibly only) cybernetic-surgical-sex scene you will ever see. If you're a fan of poorly rated yet awesome films, this film's for you.

it was ok, but it seemed to fall a little bit short, maybe a remake in the future will do some good

Primeiros dois minutos ele já mostra a que veio, num futuro distópico extremamente capitalista, já estou na expectativa de comprar uma cartilagem para meu joelho direito, pena que no filme essa tecnologia ainda não tinha chegado na América do Sul... Alice Braga sempre nos enchendo de orgulho, e muito talento... Excelente filme, repleto de ação, tensão, sangue, suspense, tiros, fugas e um Plot Twist uau, reviravolta surpreendente, triste e fodástico no final...

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
