Repo: The Genetic Opera (2008)

It's a musical/rock opera based in the dirty, seedy future where those who can not afford organ transplants get financing from Geneco.  However if you can't keep up the payments for your body parts, they repossess them.  An interesting concept, but the music was terrible and everyone sang EVERYTHING.  There is no dialogue - all singing.  They sang sentences, then they'd rhyme, then they'd go back to non-rhyming sentences. The repo guy has neato lights in his helmet making his eyes look as if they glow. Then Joan Jett appeared out of nowhere during a pseudo punk song in the girl's bedroom.  Yuck.
