Review of Repo Man

Repo Man (1984)
3/10
Muddled, boring, uninteresting tale.
11 February 2005
Emilio Estevez is a teenage punk who gets fired from his job as a supermarket shelf stacker and gets tricked into life as a car repossession man by old timer Harry Dean Stanton.

What follows is a muddled, boring, uninteresting tale of all sorts of miserable characters on the trail of a 1964 Chevy Malibu - with a $20,000 bounty and a very mysterious cargo.

Estevez sulks his way through the film, and is fairly effective as the young loser, while Stanton is good as his "father figure" and mentor.

All in all not very impressive at all but nevertheless a film with a loyal following from cult British director Alex Cox.
