Repo Men

In the scene where Remy is on the typewriter typing and Jake walks into the room, you can see words on the paper.

After a camera cut, the words are gone, and a blank piece of paper is in the typewriter instead.

When Remy stops typing he takes the binoculars off the table and looks out the window.

When the camera shows the pages he has written on the table the binoculars are near the pages on the table.

But when they switch back to Remy he has them in his hand again.

When Jake hands Remy the yellow syringe, in the pink room, he has already removed the cap.

In the next scene you can see Remy holding the syringe with the cap still on and then removes the cap again with his teeth.

Note this is a dream sequence so the glitch is in the MI5 machine! When Jake takes a look at the draft of Remy's unpublished book The Repossession Mambo, while Remy is carried off on a stretcher at the end of the film, you can see that the page Jake takes a look at contains a spelling mistake in the title itself.

The word "Repossession" is missing a fourth "s" (being spelled "Repossesion" there).

When they get on the subway train (TTC Bay Station) the car they enter is either a Hawker Siddeley(Urban Transportation Development Corporation) H5 or H6.

After the first interior scene the car becomes a Bombardier Transportation's T1 for the rest of the scenes.

This film seemingly starts with a decent premise and interesting concept then falls into more confusing territory. Based on a novel, which seemingly has a sense and feel, in which we can tell there are many different ideas as it seems that the writers of the film were trying too precise in recreating the novel's formula.

This movie is a great analogy between what happened due to "the innovations" in the financial world. Example: "Sure you need to buy this house and sign for the mortgage ...

What attract the attention the most is the camera angles. Angles were where they would be the enjoyable the most and they were in clear position that can make you enjoy whats going on.

"Repo Men" has very little in common with the old 80's "Repo-Man" to my early relief when viewing. However I realized fairly quickly this new story and presentation was all style and zero-substance, a common problem with movies nowadays.

Excellent cast doing their usual work. Great twists from a neat story.

Just wondering, the director and writer never thought about the fact that in such a technologically advanced society they would have the means to remotely control and track such sophisticated organs? Way too violent and Hollywood-ish.

In the not too distant future medical technology has improved to the point where failing organs can be replaced by artificial ones… at a price. Of course there are finance plans for people who can't afford to buy them outright but if you drop behind on your payments your organs will be repossessed.

After the first 40 minutes or so, I wasn't sure if I liked this or not. I could see that the movie wasn't too ambitious, and seemed to shoehorn some elements (family problems, love interests etc.

After watching this movie I had the feeling that the original cut must have been like 1 hour longer. Only this could explain the complete lack of depth in character development.
