‘Repo Men’ Trailer Will Take (Back) Your Heart

I know what you’re thinking, and sadly “Repo Men” is not the sequel to the 1980 Emilio Estevez lo-fi classic “Repo Man.” It’s closer in tone to the musical “Repo: The Genetic Opera,” and features Jude Law kicking a metric ton of ass as part of an artificial organ retrieval squad. Take a gander at the red-band (read: NSFW) trailer, and we’ll delve into the synopsis and whatnot:

Here’s your aforementioned synopsis:

Humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called The Union. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don’t pay your bill, The Union sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property…with no concern for your comfort or survival.

Jude Law plays Remy, one of the best organ repo men in the business. But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company’s top-of-the-line heart-replacement…as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart’s no longer in the job. When he can’t make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy’s former partner Jake (Forest Whitaker), to track him down.

Now that the hunter has become the hunted, Remy joins Beth (Alice Braga), another debtor who teaches him how to vanish from the system. And as he and Jake embark on a chase across a landscape populated by maniacal friends and foes, one man will become a reluctant champion for thousands on the run.

“Repo Men” is coming for your heart, liver or kidneys on April 2.
