7/10 It's reminds me a lot of the movie: In Time
The ending raised my vote from 6/10 to 7/10.
Yeah, the ending really took me away. 11 years 5 months ago -

I wonder whether this will be re-evaluated following Sapochnik's superb efforts on Thrones. At the very least it's proof that he's a perfect fit for the cyberpunk world of Altered Carbon. 7 years 7 months ago -

Miguel Sapochnik's Repo Men seems a (retroactive) precursor to the world of Blade Runner, and it's fairly easy to imagine Jude Law and Forest Whitaker's bio-tech repossessors as Deckard's, or the Union as Tyrel Corporation's. However, the noir is replaced by black comedy and the ambiguous mind-twist is far more obvious and explicit. While the premise and actors are strong, and the makers mostly resist the studio's manipulations, it still falls down, I think, because of its over-use of gore. I don't have a weak stomach by any means, but there's so much of it, it can still make you queasy and detracts from the overall tone of the film. 8 years 8 months ago
