RANT - Repo Men

If you can't pay for your car, the Bank takes it back.

If you can't pay for your house, the Bank takes it back.

If you can't pay for your liver, that's where Repo Men come in.

Why this has to be done by breaking in to people's homes, shooting them with a stun gun, then repossessing the appropriate organ(s) on their living room floor is never really explained. Why not arrest them, take them back to the facility where they got their life-saving transplant, and take it back out under the same hospital conditions?

All in all, too silly, like a (Repo) Men in Black.

The film isn't serious enough to be a thriller, nor funny enough to be a comedy. And Jude Law's British accent doesn't fit with the American-born-and-raised character he's playing.
