Remy's wife (Carice van Houten) insists that her husband move into sales, but Remy and Jake are adrenaline junkies who don't want to put an end to their field partnership. Remy (Jude Law) and Jake (Forest Whitaker) are two of The Union's best repo men, and best-friendly adversaries since boyhood. The only hitch?

Parts of "Blade Runner," "Logan's Run," "Fahrenheit 451" and "Brazil" can be seen in the machinery of "Repo Men" (not to mention the 2008 cult film "Repo! The Genetic Opera").

But to watch "Repo Men" is to think, "There is nothing new under the video billboards of a futuristic dystopian skyline."Ĭinematic science-fiction devotees will be counting up the cultural touchstones in Miguel Sapochnik's film of Eric Garcia's novel "The Repossession Mambo" (screenplay by Garcia and Garrett Lerner).
