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
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. _________________ http://www.transplantkids.co.uk/

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.
