Movie Review: "Repo Men"

Seen on: March 16, 2010

The players: Director: Miguel Sapochnik, Writers: Garrett Lerner, Eric Garcia, Cast: Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, Alice Braga, Liev Schreiber

Facts of interest: Inspired by Eric Garcia's novel "The Repossession Mambo."

The plot: In a world where people can switch failing organs with expensive mechanical ones, repo men are trained to reclaim the artificial organs if folks can't pay for them any longer.

Our thoughts: “Repo Men” definitely boasts an interesting concept, but I feel it could’ve been explored in a much more original way. Truth be told, Miguel Sapochnik’s sci-fi movie is nothing but a gory spectacle filled with standard chases and ultra-violent battle sequences. While I’m sure many cinemagoers out there appreciate just that, I admit I was looking for a little more brain in this thing.

'Repo Men' red band trailer land online

I admit I never heard of "Repo Men" before I saw this trailer, but it's an upcoming sci-fi flick starring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker. Miguel Sapochnik directed the film, and you can check out the preview below.

I also read this movie is pretty much a straight copy of Darren Lynn Bousman's recent horror musical "Repo! The Genetic Opera," and to be honest, the synopsises of both flicks are indeed almost identical.

I can't say I'm blown away by this red band trailer, but it seems like the film boasts an interesting concept, some gory sequences and decent action and action. Feel free to leave your comments below.

Movie Review: “Sherlock Holmes”

Seen on: December 21, 2009

The players: Director: Guy Ritchie, Writers: Michael Robert Johnson, Simon Kinberg, Anthony Peckham, Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Mark Strong, Eddie Marsan

Facts of interest: Ritchie's first PG-13 film.

The plot: Sherlock Holmes heads out to hunt down and arrest Blackwood, who plans to murder all of London's politicians.

Our thoughts: Although far from a cinematic masterpiece, Guy Ritchie’s reimagining of “Sherlock Holmes” boasts a lot of big-screen fun. It’s a relatively fast-paced crime adventure stuffed with decent humor, and while the amusing story certainly helps boost the film’s entertainment value, the real reason this thing works so well is Robert Downey Jr.
