Repo Men

In "Repo Men," Remy (Law) and Jake (Whitaker) are best friends and The Union's most dangerous repossession men, reclaiming top-dollar organs when recipients fall behind on their payments. But after an on-the-job accident forces Remy to be outfitted with a top-of-the-line heart replacement, he finds himself in debt and on the run. Now, the hunter becomes the hunted, as Jake will stop at nothing to track him down to finish the job. Based on the novel "the Repossession Mambo" by Eric Garcia. (Gary Reber)

The 1080p AVC picture is terrific, with a dramatic cinematic texture throughout. The imagery is richly hued with vivid colors that are fully saturated. Contrast is generally excellent with deep, solid blacks and revealing shadow delineation. Some darker scenes, though, can seem "heavy" and overly dark, which perhaps is the intended look. Resolution is impressively revealing of facial features and object textures, especially during close ups. Dimensionality is good, with foregrounds sharp and clear, but often backgrounds out of focus. Overall, the picture is dramatic in appearance but a bit "heavy" in image weight, due to the stylization. Still, the imagery is engaging and works well with the storytelling. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is quite dynamic sounding. The music score is aggressively enveloping, with a solid low-frequency foundation and a very wide and deep soundstage that extends deep into the surround channels. The music is well recorded with a "live" presence that is impressive. Sound effects enhance the dramatic impact of the action sequences with powerful surges, complemented with aggressive D-BOX motion action. Atmospheric sound effects are positioned discretely in the surrounds and across the frontal soundstage. Jude Law's narration is strong, with an excellent forward balance against the other sound elements. Dialogue is production sound and ADR and not always intelligible, due to the close miking technique employed. The technique also results in poor spatial integration. Bass extension is often deep and powerful in the .1 LFE channel. The ending scenes are especially exciting and holosonic sounding, with an aggressive directionalized soundfield. This is a dynamic soundtrack that is well produced except for the dialogue. (Gary Reber)
