Review: Just when I think things would never get worse, a film comes out and shows me different. Imagine, folks can’t afford to pay their medical bills and a repo company is dispatched to retrieve body parts. What next? Fluids? Replacing diseases once thought to be cured? This film speaks on all things jacked up and what may soon be on the horizon.

Folks used to think that homes they purchased were safe, as long as they paid off their mortgage – then came Eminent Domain. Jobs that were once deemed “safe” are now being outsourced. Those things that were once thought of as “hard for a stranger to take away” are now disappearing faster than dignity in a music video or “reality TV.”

This film showed the typical life of a repo man until he found himself on the otherside of the unfortunately signed contract. Soon he was in a race to save his own life and the life of a new love. The real fun happens when he fight the machine and lives happily ever after. Now how’s that for a joke. 7.5 blades and a B- for this film that began to show a turn of the tides and then quickly flipped back to reality.
