A pleasant surprise

Repo Men is a great entertaining flick I'm glad I watched (9 years after the release though). The story isn't perfect, and the delivery gets rushed at times to fit all the necessary parts in a small time frame, but overall, it's all good.

The most enjoyable parts are the performances and the direction, mostly the style elements. The setting is relatable since it's not just a "near future" but rather an alternative present. It had lots of exciting stuff and action, engaging social commentary, elements of obsessive friendship, a sad love story, a violent love scene, and more.

At some point, it even gets a little exploitative with fetish elements. And even though the ending didn't surprise me, I was still satisfied. A good sci-fi action flick that suffered a little due to movie run time limitations (or wasn't particularly well adapted).

Repo Men could've been a great TV series. I hope they will make one someday.
