The Review

This is a movie that tries too hard, and at the end of the film, I was wondering what message it was trying to convey.

It has no direction, and the plot is pretty much pointless.

The scare factor here is the repossessions of organs which happens if you’re behind on your payment. Well that sounds silly to me, even if it’s fictional.

So expect a gross factor of ten with all the revolting blood and guts during the repo scenes.

I finished watching this movie with a bad taste in my mouth. I expected more from Oscar winner Forest Whitaker.

The Good

• Excellent CGI
• Plenty of blood if you’re into it

The Bad

• Lame story
• Weak characters
