History Film / RepoMen

* OrganTheft: The Union's business model is a [[InvertedTrope inversion]]: The Union does not steal organs, it legally seizes unpaid articial organs.

* PunchClockVillain: Jake seems to qualify.

* ComedicSociopathy: Jake and Remy go to "check up" on someone who has fallen behind on his payments and to remind him he's got 3 days left. Before doing so they make a bet on whether he'll run or not [[spoiler: and when he does, they laugh and joke that he's going to need a new heart due to panic]]

* OrganTheft: The Union's business model is a subversion.

* {{Dystopia}}: A world were if someone can pay for its artificial organs, they are removed and resold, even if it means the death of the patient. Moreover the interest rate offered for buying the organs are very high.

* StatusQuoIsGod: Jake seems perfectly happy with the way everything works. He likes it so much he hates (and would even kill) anyone who disrespects it or criticize it.

* ChekhovsGun: The scrambler devices, and more importantly [[spoiler: The Neural Net]]

* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: The penultimate scene in which [[spoiler: Remy and Beth have to cut each other open to scan their organs]] is....well, with the music, and the moans, and the sticking things into other things...

* LoveMakesYouCrazy: [[spoiler: Jake's obsession with Remy caused a chain of events that began with him sabotaging Remy's defibrillator and ended with him putting Remy into a dream state coma.]]

%%* LotusEaterMachine

%%* ResignationsNotAccepted
* {{Retirony}}: T-Bone's job is supposed to be Remy's last job as a repo man. {{Subverted|Trope}}, [[spoiler:because he does not die, but he is seriously injured and needs an artificial heart.]]

** When she appears first, Beth is just a singer in a bar where Remy and Jake have drinks. When Remy meets her again, she becomes his partner in his fight for surviving.

* IfICantHaveYou: Jake tried to convince Remy that repo is what they were meant to do together. They've been together since childhood and a war, so their bond was strong. Strong enough that Jake did underhanded things to make sure [[LoveMakesYouEvil they'd stay together]]. [[spoiler: a rigged a defibrillator nearly killed Remy / causing him to get an auto heart / after finding out about the "last job", Carol divorced Remy / Remy's love interest, Beth, motivated Jake even more / a last showdown caused Jake to put Remy in a dream state coma / and its highly likely that Beth was killed]].

%%* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Double Subverted.]]

* {{Retirony}}: T-Bone's job is supposed to be Remy's last job as repo man. {{Subverted|Trope}}, [[spoiler:because he does not die, but he is seriously injured and needs an artificial heart.]]

** The guy disguised in lung in The Union office. He is first showed as part of the background. He is important later when Remy knocks him down and uses his disguise to enter the office.

* ShutUpKirk: The boss chews Remy out and is aggravated by customers' complains when they knew what they signed for.
* SnicketWarningLabel: [[spoiler:Stop when they are at the beach, trust me, your brain will be better off that way, both physically and [[MindScrew mentally]]]].

* AllJustADream: [[spoiler: Well, half of it anyways.]]

* BittersweetEnding: In the end we find that getting [[spoiler: hit with the hook left Remy brain damaged; Jake is now paying for a [[LotusEaterMachine neural net]] so that Remy can live the rest of his life in happiness. So, while he didn't escape and Beth will probably die, Remy will live out the rest of his life thinking otherwise, sipping drinks on a beach with her and his best friend.]]

* BlackComedy: All over the place among the repo men in the beginning, Remy included.

* {{Badass}}: Remy and Jake.

* TitleDrop: Sort of. At the end we see that Remy called his story ''The Repossesion Mambo'', which is [[MythologyGag the name of the book the movie is based on]].

* FilmOfTheBook: ''The Repossesion Mambo''.
