Repo Men

Was able to see the trailer of Repo Men. Basically the story is about a man who wants to be out of what he is doing because he has turned into the very person he is after. 

The future has become a time where life could actually be extended by having body parts that are made possible by the advances of science. Artificial heart, kidney, lungs, and any part that you need are made in factory. Yes it will make you alive but it will not only break your bank but also end your life.

A company, The Union, has monopolized the business and when one has defaulted on his or her payments they sent the Repo Men, short for repossession men. These parts have become like the ordinary car or house that you buy that when not paid on time a legal action of repossession can be implemented even at the risk of one’s life. 

The lead actor played by Jude Law is a Repo Men. He and his partner,Forest Withaker, are skilled in the business of taking back what the company owns. Until one time Jude law suffers from a heart attack and wakes up that his heart was replaced by the company. He now owes his life to the company. But as he returns to his work as Repo man it seems that he cannot do his job anymore, his heart was not into it anymore. He wants to get out of the business but because the heart that keeps him alive is of the company he is now hunted by his very partner(as per the trailer, not sure about this). 

The movie will be shown this coming Friday. Let’s us see how will end or fare. The ending seems that he will escape it and lead a run and hide life or will he shut down the company that hunts those that owe it for the body parts.

Green Zone: My personal review(for those who haven't watch it yet dont read this spoiler)

Today I finally watch Green Zone.

The movie as usual truly is an action pack one with the performance of Matt Damn as Chief Roy Miller. His mission was to locate Saddam's WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) which was known from a source called Magellan. The repeated failed missions made him realize something is wrong with the intelligence that he and his men are getting. They have searched premises of the alleged storage sites and all were just bunch of old warehouse. He has brought up the matter to his superiors but was brush off because at that time they US were publicizing that they have won the war in Iraq.

The remaining army of Saddam has stayed and secretly holding meetings to possibly re-establish Iraq by either accepting cooperation with the US or by fighting and keeping the resistance. One of Saddam’s top general, Al Rawi, was spotted by Freddie (Khalid Abdalla) in a house where the remaining loyal armies of Saddam are holding meeting and reported it to Miller’s team. Miller decided to trust this information because of the false intels he has been getting and eventually have a lead in what is really happening. In their raid, Miller got a hold of a notebook which contains secret hideouts and whereabouts of the remaining top generals lead by Al Rawi. Miller was able to get a hold of one of the people in the secret meeting and was about to get information but was suddenly interrupted when a group of helicopters swoop in and took the men Miller has. They insisted on having the notebook but Miller secretly passes it to Freddie. 

The incident led Miller to contact CIA operative Martin. Miller gave the notebook to Martin and told him about the men some soldiers took which he believed will give valuable information about Al Rawi. In the same time Miller was spotted by Lawrie Dayne, a WSJ journalist that wrote about a secret source Magellan.

In the end Miller finally found out the Al Rawi was Magellan and that the information that he was getting was actually false. In his face to face talk with Al Rawi, He found out that Al Rawi talked to US officials in Jordan regarding the WMD and Al Rawi told them that all WMD were destroyed. But to justify the war in Iraq a false lead was leak to Lawrie Dayne and eventually the world thought that there a still WMD in Iraq. Finally Al Rawi was killed by Freddie. Miller confronted Poundstone regarding what he did to make the world believe of the WMD in Iraq. 

The movie ended with Lawrie Dayne receiving an email from Miller stating to make things right. And what is attached is a document proving the false reports about WMD and the actual leak out information by Magellan. The same email was sent to other publications to spread the truth about WMD.

The movie is a classic rub-out operations just like the stories that we hear or see in the news. The movie was rated R due to the action and graphic content. The way the film was made is as if you were there but not 3D. During the chase and the  action scenes, the camera is moving with the actors thus it is kinda hard to focus. Story line is great and that the location truly represent that of Iraq. 

The movie was based on a novel. The validity of the story should not be taken as true or fact but rather one should research about the truth about the said WMD.
