This was too long, mean, and gory for me, though the satirical gloss and well-executed trick ending will probably impress some.

Better and smarter than you might expect.

| Jul 6, 2010

The overused homages and a tacked-on twist ending are just failed attempts to save Repo Men from its own shallow blood lust.

| Original Score: 3.4/10 | Jul 4, 2010

One of the worst endings of any film, ever. Seriously. Ever.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 21, 2010

Great stuff at first, but when Law grows a conscience and goes underground with the uninsured, the narrative excitement slumps.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 16, 2010

While Forest Whitaker's conflicted thug brings languid menace, there's little to up the tension. And among all the film's icky incisions, there's a feeling a better film is lying on the cutting room floor.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 15, 2010

Law and Whitaker are disastrous in the lead roles. It's a dreary and violent film that betrays its three years spent on the shelf.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 15, 2010

The script, ambitious and inept in similar quantities, tries to work the set-up into an allegory for cosmetic surgery, immigration and the credit-based economy, adding a dash of confusion to the general atmosphere of callousness.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 15, 2010

There's the seed of a good idea here. But good geh-RIEF, has it been turned into an all-clucking, all-squawking turkey twizzler of Foghorn Leghorn dimensions.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 15, 2010

Unfortunately, the filmmakers treat things with such deathly seriousness the whole thing tends to drag creating an air of overly familiar boredom difficult to get past.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 1, 2010

There are plenty of moments when the appearance of a flying, green-glow Chevy Malibu would be a welcome distraction.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 24, 2010

Alternately smirking and dully disgusting.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 19, 2010

Repo Men, rough though it is, is disturbing enough, funny enough and shocking enough to work on some weird level.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 19, 2010

As a recession-era satire, Repo Men strikes a very bitter chord.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 19, 2010

Sluggishly paced, of minor consequence, and increasingly derivative in form and content.

| Original Score: C | Mar 19, 2010

Repo Men is a film with no identity. It's a melting pot of plot points executed more effectively by more talented people without a single genuine or subtle moment.

| Mar 19, 2010

Repo Men is basically a soulless slasher flick, and one that demeans its gifted performers.

Full Review | Mar 19, 2010

At least a robotic handclap is due to director Sapochnik for working within his limitations (including obvious budgetary ones) and giving this Frankenstein beast as much forward momentum as it possesses.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 19, 2010

Repo Men is a rare film where Toronto plays itself. It's also the first I've ever seen where a typewriter is used as a lethal weapon.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 19, 2010

One can forgive the movie's defects, and its indecision about being tragedy or comedy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 19, 2010
