In the future, medical technology has advanced to the point where people can buy artificial organs to extend their lives. But if they default on payments, an organization known as the Union sends agents to repossess the organs. Remy is one of the best agents in the business, but when he becomes the recipient of an artificial heart, he finds himself in the same dire straits as his many victims.

Repo Men
Has some nice support characters and a very cool dystopian thing going for it. A little too graphic during the organ reposessions.

Review from the comment
Another pleasant surprise in the sci-fi department in the same manner when I watched Blindness earlier this year. I came into Repo Men with low expectations and left not blown away, but definitely impressed. It is the near future and for a sky high price you can have basically any health problem taken care of by a medical conglomerate called The Union. Problem is if you fall behind on the payments, the Union sends ruthless collection agents to retrieve the artificial organs they replaced your faulty ones with. Retrieve, that is, on site, immediately. Law and Whitaker exude excellent chemistry as The Union's most relentless duo. Nice statement on corporate greed and the savageness of loss retrieval specialists.
