Variety
This ultra-gory speculative noir is, at its infrequent best, certifiably nuts; the rest of the time, it's one numbingly brutal slog.

Repo Men
Sci-fi thriller set in a future dystopia, where replacement organs can be bought on credit. But if you fail to make the payments, heavies are sent to repossess them. Jude Law plays a repo man who goes on the run from his employers after he fails to pay for a replacement heart. Forest Whitaker is his ex-partner, chasing him down to get back that heart.

The New York Times
It may have been a shrewd business decision by the film’s director, Miguel Sapochnik, to treat the story as a nasty, comic thriller. But when, after a certain point, Repo Men subsumes its satire to strenuous action sequences, it loses its edge and turns into a chase movie of no special distinction.

Hollywood Reporter
Comprising reclaimed bits from "Blade Runner," "A Clockwork Orange" and "Children of Men" and glibly served up with hyper Guy Ritchie attitude by first-time feature director Miguel Sapochnik, the resulting in-your-face mess never knows what it wants to be when it grows up.
