Repo Men posters show the high cost of organs

By Dave Davis

Posted 16 years ago

The central idea behind the upcoming sci-fi/action flick REPO MEN (formerly REPOSSESSION MAMBO) revolves around corporate agents sent to retrieve high-dollar body parts from delinquent payers. And considering these prices, no wonder the “health” company is looking at their bottom line.

I’m not sure why futuristic livers look like the alien from THE HIDDEN or why kidneys will resemble automobile taillight covers, but I suppose that makes it easy to tell which direction someone plans to turn (unless like most people, they refuse to use their goddamn signal).

The movie stars Jude Law and Forest Whitaker as the organ collectors of the title, with Liev Schreiber as the evil CEO.
