In the futuristic action-thriller REPO MEN, humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called The Union. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don't pay your bill, The Union sends its highly skilled REPO MEN to take back its property…with no concern for your comfort or survival.
Jude Law plays Remy, one of the best organ REPO MEN in the business. But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company's top-of-the-line heart-replacement…as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart's no longer in the job. When he can't make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy's former partner Jake, (Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker), to track him down.
Now that the hunter has become the hunted, Remy joins Beth (Alice Braga), another debtor who teaches him how to vanish from the system. As he and Jake embark on a chase across a landscape populated by maniacal friends and foes, one man will become a reluctant champion for thousands on the run.

Repo! The Genetic Opera and Repo Men.
As far as I understand it, Repo! was going around to try and get someone to fund/produce the film. They approached Universal, and Universal said that they WOULD do it, but Repo! had to remove all of the musical numbers. The writers refused, and they moved on to someone else.
Universal was pissed and figured that they don't need Repo!, they'd just make their own movie. Thus Repo Men.
I may be wrong, but that's what I've been hearing for a long while now.
"IT'S A THANKLESS JOB, BUT SOMEBODY'S GOT TO DO IT... PEELIN' OFF THE TISSUE INCH-BY-INCH, SKINNIN' OFF THE MUSCLES, TOO"
This film, like all current/recent releases, probably is NOTHING compared to Repo! The Genetic Opera.
Yes, boycott the fuck out of this film.
