NMR: Repo Men

It seems like it's been forever since I've done one of these. This one has been sitting on my end table for a while and I probably should have sent it back without even watching it. I was drawn by the interesting premise - Jude Law and Forest Whitaker play men who repossess human organs when people are behind on their payments. Sadly though, this movie quickly turns into an amalgam of borrowed ideas from films such as Minority Report, The Bourne Identity, and Children of Men. On top of that, this is a bloody and morose affair that fails to generate any sympathy for its characters. The only energy comes from Liev Schriber's small role as the head of this organ repossession company. The kicker here comes from their attempt at a shock ending that isn't all that shocking given how many times they hint at it earlier in the film. In general a disappointing film that failed to live up to its potential. Grade: C
