Imagine a time when all your vital organs can be replaced with a mechanical substitute, no more fighting for survival or being able to replace a defective organ instantly. Such is the case of Repo Men a film which centres on The Union a company creating mechanical organs that are highly sophisticated and its sole purpose is to save lives. The only catch is once you can't pay the bill the company sends in repo men to take back the item without any regard for life and limb. Remy (Jude Law) is one of the employees of The Union, a highly skilled repo man, he suddenly suffers a cardiac failure while on the job, upon waking up he discovers that he's fitted with the company's own mechanical heart replacement.

 With it comes a large debt to pay and a side effect of his new heart in which his zest for his work no longer exists. Unable to pay his debt to The Union, the company sends in Jake (Forest Whitaker) his former partner to take him in. Now a fugitive Remy teams up with Beth (Alice Braga) another person in the hunted list of The Union, she shows Remy how to become a ghost out of the radar of The Union. As a chase ensues between the former partners Remy now becomes a reluctant figure for thousands who share the same fate. Slated to be shown on March 19, 2010, Repo Men is directed by Miguel Sapochnik and is released by Universal Pictures.
