Director: Miguel Sapochnik

Miguel Sapochnik has directed some of the most memorable Game Of Thrones episodes to date, making his debut during the show's fifth season with The Gift and then the critically acclaimed Hardhome. The English director returned for Season 6 and was entrusted with the final two episodes - the highly anticipated and well-received Battle Of The Bastards and The Winds Of Winter.

Sapochnik has also worked on House and True Detective in the past, earning a name for himself as a talent in the world of direction. In TV at least; his one and only attempt at a feature film thus far wasn't met with the same level of approval. Far from it in fact - Repo Men scored a measly 22% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Based on the novel The Repossession Mambo by Eric Garcia, this sci-fi action-thriller stars Jude Law and Forest Whitaker and takes place in a near future where diseased organs can be replaced with bio-mechanical ones. If patients fall behind on payments, however, the Repo Men are called in to reclaim the replacement organs in ruthless and violent fashion.

It's a gory premise, and Sapochnik certainly can't be accused of shying away from the job at hand, though the amount of blood and guts simply becomes mind numbing after a while and completely loses impact by the end. An excess of homages and a twist right out of the left field are just failed attempts at saving a movie that manages to be ultra-violent and ultra-dull at the same time.
