Repo Men

Nothing for weeks and then we get 3!

Saw Repo Man last night.Directed by Miguel Sapochnik and starring Jude Law, Forest Whitaker and Liev Schreiber.

Well after the negative reviews for this film, I was quite surprised how much I did like it. It's not great, but it's got plenty to offer. Pretty good script, I liked the concept, the brutal reclaims and a twist ending (which I didn't see coming!). The acting is good and Law is a pretty good action hero!

Some of the action sequences are really good, some a little OTT but Law seemed quite at home doing them and he never looked out of place.

Whitaker was a little more shaky at times, but Schreiber was good through out and I do like him. Not really sure about the supporting cast, they were ok.

The music was pretty good and the direction wasn't bad.

Overall, a good concept, good actiing and some good action, but nothing brilliant!
(7/10)

  1. Repo man was a good concept but I think the film suffered with a lack of....ump (slow story perhaps). Overall it wasn't bad. The main cast did their best with an average script. If anything it showed how good an action actor Jude Law is becoming. 6/10
