The Worst Film Ever

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I liked this movie especially once I figured out the twist ending -which in turn explained why it went so off the rails in the second half. Interesting premise though, kinda BladeRunner-ish and great leads in Jude Law and Forest Whitaker -I haven't yet been able figure out how they were supposed to have grown up together though when they have different accents? Anyways, super gory in parts, great action scenes, with occasional weirdness, dark humour thrown in that is eventually explained by the "Neural Net." The final knife-fight/showdown is just awesome in a very Over-the-top (Kill Bill) kind of way. 5/10/14

Before I complain about how poor the plot, the acting, the score and the cinematography were, let me start with my main complaint: Why does there have to be so much gore and so many disgusting scenes in a science-fiction movie so much so that you'd need a barfing bag while watching it? Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of the horror genre and I enjoy watching occasional gory horror movies. The problem is I went into this movie expecting to see a science-fiction movie not a gore-fest. I had to fast forward many parts because they were completely out of place and belonged to the horror genre. I need to point out the fact that there's a difference between horror movies that aim to scare you and those that aim to disgust you. Sadly, this supposedly "science-fiction" movie falls into the latter category. My second complaint is about the pacing of the movie, which is too slow and boring. Oh and why isn't there a single good-looking actor in this movie? They are all unpleasant to look at apart from the black guy maybe. Couldn't they just pick a handsome guy to play the main role? I was really disappointed and if there were a zero rating I would've given it. This movie is ridiculously overrated. Avoid it like the plague.

Having seen "REPO - THE GENETIC OPERA" prior to this, I was sort of expecting a more serious version of the same, and I got what i expected.I have seen a review saying that this is just a "Remake of Logan's Run" ... Well, I have seen that film and this is NOT anything like Logan's Run - So do not let that review fool you.This is a pure Sci-Fi Tale of Corporate Greed and corruption... It plays well into the mindset of the world at the moment with the Greed of Bankers having made headlines and a growing disdain for our political leaders... Many may even chose to see this as a vision of our future.My god I seriously hope NOT!The film is Brutal and bloody, highly unforgiving when the violence does ensue, but there is a far more moral story that plays throughout that makes this film a must see...SPOILER ALERT: If you are paying attention through the movie, there are plenty of clues to how it ends... I will not spoil it except to say that you are NOT going to get a happy ending!Would I recommend this film? DEFIANTLY! Its not one you are going to want to re-watch over and over... And it should not be viewed by those of a nervous disposition or who hate the sight of blood...If you enjoyed Repo - The Genetic Opera, you are going to enjoy this as well...

After the first 40 minutes or so, I wasn't sure if I liked this or not. I could see that the movie wasn't too ambitious, and seemed to shoehorn some elements (family problems, love interests etc.) that we just apparently have to have in every movie. But, it did get better towards the end. I can appreciate some aspects in this film, even though it does lack certain qualities."Repo Men" reminds me of many movies based on Philip K. Dick's stories. It isn't one, but it damn well could be. There are themes that are familiar from "Minority Report", "Impostor", "Equilibrium" and even to some extent "Total Recall". All those films are clearly above this one, but I'd say this is worth seeing at least once.The main flaw with this movie is that it doesn't always seem to know what it is and what it wants to make us feel. We do get basically everything: characters, drama, action, explicit non-PG13 violence, humor, sci-fi, a catchphrase and even a little twist - but it lacks a certain focus and some opportunities are lost, thus taking away from the impact. These tonal changes don't always work. Add a soundtrack that's sometimes very good and other times the exact opposite, and you get a movie that tries too hard for what it is, leaving many people disappointed.Jude Law does a decent enough job, and Forest Whitaker is always fun to watch, even though he's hamming it up a bit sometimes (not necessarily a bad thing). Liev Schreiber is entertaining as the face of the corporation.Think of it as a B-movie along the lines of "Impostor", that would be my advice. As such, it is entertaining and does it's job, and can possibly surprise some people in a positive way. There's no 100M dollar CGI budget either, so it's easier to digest this way. The sci-fi elements are certainly not hard sci-fi, so take it as it is. A simple adequate movie that often misses the mark, but never by a mile. If you have nothing to do on a rainy day, might as well see this - it's definitely not a disaster. I don't regret getting the blu-ray at a discount. Probably won't watch it again, but no regrets nonetheless.
