What Does ‘Repossession Mambo’ Mean?
This past week a couple of B-D readers attended a recent screening of Universal Pictures’ Repossession Mambo and tipped us off to what the film’s title means. MAMBO is a morality tale that is set in the near future, where artificial organs can be bought on credit, with the understanding that defaulting on payment will result in a fatal repossession. In Miguel Sapochnik’s pic, Jude Law and Forest Whitaker are repo men who take back the organs. Law’s character refers to the “twitch” – or “dance” – the victims do while being operated on as the “repossession mambo”. Our readers weren’t fans of the movie, but if you head on over to AICN you can read the first ever review.
