My big problem with the film is that I found it very hard to relate to any of the characters. It’s pretty bold & original, and the performances are very good- but in the end I simply did not find it absorbing. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why I didn’t like the film. I knew about ten minutes into the film that it really wasn’t going to work for me. REPO! is the type of film that you’ll either love or hate- and sadly I more or less fall into the latter category. The man definitely has balls, but sadly I was not all that taken with his movie. He’s coming off a very successful run with the SAW franchise, and one would expect him to choose something a tad simpler than a hard core rock opera as his follow up film.

No matter what- you’ve really got to give director Darren Lynn Bousman credit. REVIEW: I wanted to like REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA- I really did. If anyone misses a payment- they fall prey to the dreaded Repo Man (Anthony Head)- who’ll reclaim their organs by any means necessary. Due to GeneCo.’s exorbitant prices, most elect to pay for their organs through financing. Enter Rotti Largo (Paul Sorvino), and his company GeneCo- which provides organ transplantation for profit. Sometime in the near future, a mass epidemic of organ failures cripples society.
