In the future 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 repossess your organs... with no concern for your comfort or survival. Former soldier Remy (Jude Law) is 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 (Forest Whitaker), to track him down.No relation to Repo Man or Repo! The Genetic Opera. | |

Morton's Fork: Repo Men are legally obliged to ask the people they are repossessing organs from if they wish to call for an ambulance to take them to a hospital after the procedure; but not only are most of said victims unconscious and unable to answer (and in the case of certain organs such as the heart the harvesting is instantly fatal), Remy explains to one who is conscious that, if their HMO is already lousy enough that a Repo Man is bound to come a-knockin', then the hospital won't do anything to save their lives. | |

Ridiculous Repossession | |
| Repo Men / int_58c038c9 | comment |
Ridiculous Repossession: "The Union" has greatly improved the quality of life through the creation of cutting-edge medical implants. However the dark side is that, if the recipients of said implants are unable to keep up with their fees, the Union is legally allowed to send repo men to reclaim the implants (which more often than not will be a fatal procedure, not that the repo men or the Union cares). | |

Meatgrinder Surgery | |
| Repo Men / int_b281bf24 | comment |
Meatgrinder Surgery: Repo Men generally don't care much about making their repossessions neatly. Best example is Jake repossessing some poor man's liver in the middle of a BBQ party in Remy's house, gutting the guy in the back of a taxi, with the steak knife he used to cut apart said BBQ a couple of minutes before. This actually helps Remy when he foils the system into pretending he took Beth's organs when he didn't - he just scratched the barcodes of the artificial organs he was passing for Beth's and pretended that he screwed up their removal. | |

Interplay of Sex and Violence | |
| Repo Men / int_c8ba12ee | comment |
Interplay of Sex and Violence: The penultimate scene in which Remy and Beth have to cut each other open to scan their organs is....well, with the music, and the moans, and the sticking things into other things... | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive | |
| Repo Men / int_cbe687ab | comment |
Corrupt Corporate Executive: Frank is only looking for profit. He prefers that The Union's customer buy the organs on credit than for cash, because generally they cannot pay the high interest rates, so The Union can remove and resell the organs, which generate higher profits. | |

Evil Debt Collector: The titular Repo Men are a triumphant case, in that they kill their targets by collecting the "debt." | |

You're Insane! | |
| Repo Men / int_d7ecbd57 | comment |
You're Insane!: Remy calls Jake "crazy" when he reveals to him that he was the one who rigged the defibrillator which gave Remy a heart attack, forcing him to get the new heart. He did it because he didn't want Remy to quit. He believes their jobs were to be repo men. | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
| Repo Men / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: When she appears first, Beth is just a singer in a bar where Remy and Jake have drinks. When Remy meets her again, she becomes his partner in his fight for survival. At first, Ray is just a colleague whom Remy and Jake make fun of. He is more important later when he is sent to catch Remy. The guy disguised as a lung in The Union office. He is first showed as part of the background. He is important later when Remy knocks him down and uses his disguise to enter the office. | |

Resignations Not Accepted | |
| Repo Men / int_ebb900a7 | comment |
Resignations Not Accepted: Jake does not want Remy to stop working as a repo man, so he sabotages his defibrillator, which caused him to get an artificial heart. Jake seems to think that Remy will be forced to keep on working as a repo man to pay for his artificial heart. | |

20 Minutes into the Future | |
| Repo Men / int_f32d85ab | comment |
20 Minutes into the Future: This world is not very different from ours (technology, clothes, music...). The only differences are the ubiquity of artificial organs and the fact that it is legal to remove them if the patient cannot pay his bills. | |

Love Makes You Evil | |
| Repo Men / int_f788b2c5 | comment |
Love Makes You Evil: Jake tries to convince Remy that repo is what they were meant to do together. They've been together since childhood and a war, so their bond is strong. Strong enough that Jake does underhanded things to make sure they will stay together: he sabotages a defibrillator to nearly kill Remy, which caused him to get an artificial heart. Jake seems to think that Remy will be forced to keep on working as a repo man to pay for his artificial heart. | |
