Repo Men

Repo Men is rated R: for strong bloody violence, grisly images, language and some sexuality/nudity.

Because we only review G, PG, and PG-13 movies at Parent Previews we did not review this title. For your convenience, we have provided some brief information about the film’s synopsis and content.

Synopsis:

In the future, advanced medical technology has created artificial organs that can save lives. The only problem is, these gadgets are costly. And if the patient defaults on their payments, the manufacturer sends out a team to repossess the hardware (regardless of the possible negative health consequences). One of the best men in the business is Remy (Jude Law)—that is until he needs his own heart transplant, but can’t afford the bill.

Director: Miguel Sapochnik
Cast: Jude Law, Live Schreiber, Forest Whitaker, Miguel Sapochnik

This additional information about the movie’s content is taken from the notes of various Canadian Film Classification boards:
Violence:
- Pervasive visually explicit portrayals of violence, including surgical procedures, gun and weapons use, and hand-to-hand combat (blood, gore and detailed wounds shown).
- Frequent portrayals of graphic violence and gory images, including depictions of corpses, throat slitting, stabbing, shooting and mutilation. 
- Frequent disturbing scenes.
Sexual Content:
- Sexual references and innuendo.
- Breasts and buttock nudity briefly seen in a sexual situation.
- Breast nudity shown in a non-sexual context.
- Embracing and kissing
Language:
- Frequent use of the sexual expletive in a non-sexual context.
- Frequent use of scatological slang, cursing and profanity.
- Limited use of slurs.
Drugs and Alcohol:
- Substance abuse.
- Depiction of drug use.

Minority Report also creates a dark future world where a team of law-enforcement officers arrest people they claim are about to commit a crime. Repo Men makes a negative statement about the profit motivations of the medical system, as does the movie John Q. and the editorial-documentary Sicko.

Repo Men releases to DVD and Blu-ray on July 20, 2010.
