Forest Whitaker has revealed that his latest movie Repo Men is full of 'dark humour'.
The actor teams up with British star Jude Law in the science fiction, action movie directed by Miguel Sapochnik.
In an interview with Parade the actor said: "The guy I play is testosterone-driven and the movie is full of intensity, not to mention lots of gore.
"There's also quite a bit of humour, but it's pretty dark. It's a leap to go so far out - sort of like Clockwork Orange meets Monty Python. But why not take a chance and maybe get people to laugh in some unexpected places?"
"I'm trying to repossess Jude Law's heart and we're in some tough fights. Actually, his kung fu was very good. He was sort of new to it, but I've been into martial arts for years.
"It is sort of like being kids again, you know you got sticks, you got cattle prods and you're out there fighting guys and knocking them over. There's something fun about that."
The movie is set in the near future when artificial organs can be bought on credit. The film follows a man who struggles to make the payments on a heart he has purchased.
He must therefore go on the run before his heart is repossessed by the very people he used to work for.
Repo Men is released 23rd April.
