‘Repo Men’ Deliver Futuristic Action on Blu-ray!
Here’s another title I unfortunately missed during its theatrical run earlier this year. Thank God for the Blu-ray format!

I heard this film was atrocious. It was on the shelf for quite a while, too. Hell, there was drama of them basically copying Repo! The Genetic Opera in terms of storyline. Dramarama.
I loved Repo! The Genetic Opera!
