Comment
In a futuristic world where an epidemic of organ failures decimated the population and genetic engineering company develops artificial organs, that it sells to people. however if they cannot keep up the repayments the repo man is send to remove them without worrying about the person's survival. The story follows the coming together of the lives of the founder of the company and his daughter (Paris Hilton) and the repo man (Anthony Head) and his daughter (Alexa PenaVega). This is a mix of musical, bloody gore and comic book cartoons that borrows from various sources, not least Rocky Horror Picture Show and Blade Runner. The biggest weakness is that most of the musical numbers are forgettable and apart from Sarah Brightman, the singing is not great.
