Repo Men is a new movie starring Jude Law...A hard hitting futuristc film not for the faint hearted...looks like a movie I would enjoy though Very Happy

Official site with trailer http://www.repomenarecoming.com/

The concept of the film is linked to a future where people can buy artificial organs called "Artiforgs" from a company named The Union.

These artiforgs can be bought to replace almost any part of the human body. They are very expensive and can be bought on credit.

For example, a new heart would cost $975,000 and similar to the current housing crisis, almost everyone was approved for the credit.

If the user miss a payment by more than 90 days, a Repo Man comes and removes the organ from that person.

The way the Repo Men discover if someone is past due on a payment is by using a scanner to read a bar code on the organ to determine the payment dates.

Sounds interesting. Apparently it'll be released in UK cinemas on April 23rd. If anyone sees it can they please let us know what they thought. I might wait for it on DVD, not sure yet.
