Repo Men is an science fiction action thriller directed by Miguel Sapochnik, and starring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker. Writers Eric Garcia and Garrett Lerner team with director Miguel Sapochnik to adapt Garcia’s novel about a repo man named Remy whose body has been constructed almost entirely of artificial organs. When Remy (Jude Law) fails to keep up on payments for his recent heart transplant, his former partner vows to take back the organ by force if necessary.
Meanwhile, Remy finds an unexpected ally in the form of his long-lost wife, Beth (Sonia Braga), who has also been retrofitted with numerous artificial organs. Now, despite the fact that they haven’t seen each other since Remy joined the army ten years ago, the desperate repo man and his sympathetic wife attempt a daring escape from a man who holds the lives of millions in the palm of his hands. Forest Whitaker and Liev Schreiber co-star.
In an alternative future, humans can prolong their lives with artificial organs that can be purchased on credit from the mega-giant corporation known as The Union. The downside to these small, pricy miracles is that if you can’t make your payments, the vital organs are taken back by highly skilled repo men with no care for human comfort or survival. Remy (Jude Law), a top-notch repo man, who suffered a heart attack while on the job has been given the company’s state-of-the-art heart-substitute along with expensive installments. As he cannot keep up with the financial responisibilties, The Union sends out their heaviest authoritarian and Remy’s former partner Jake (Forest Whitaker) to find him. Remy meets Beth (Alice Braga) who instructs him on how to disappear from the system. Beginning is a chase that ensues across a land inhabited by ravingly strange friends and enemies with one, who will be a hero for the countless who seek a way out.
