Repo Men

So  I have mixed feelings about this movie.  On one hand there is several things wrong with the film.  The first being that it was extremely slow to get started.  They spent alot of time in the beginning establishing character and taking you through the time before Law's character gets in trouble and begins being chased for repossession himself.  Now there is nothing wrong setting up your character but in this case it was excessively wrong.  On the other hand the storyline was extremely clever.  I haven't seen such an intriguing idea in a long time.  Especially for a science fiction / action movie.  The twist at the end made me think and contemplate the whole movie for a while after I left.  That being said... I did NOT like the ending.  I know that not all movies are supposed to make you feel good... but what can I say.. I prefer it that way.  On the whole I have to say that I am coming down on the side of dislike in this case.  It's a strange feeling to know you have seen a good movie but still not liking it.  Oh well...   (2.5/6.0)
