GroovemanSep 15, 2014"You ever feel like your mind is eroding?" If there was ever a punk rock science fiction movie, this is it. Repo Man is without a doubt the shoddiest film I've ever seen from the Criterion Collection, but somehow its poor workmanship seems to add to the film's unique…

Joe RumrillMay 10, 2024“A lot of straight guys like to watch their buddies f*ck, I know I do!”
Evasive -
A nihilistic, cynical but entertaining piece that could only exist during Reagan/Cold War era America. Rooted by a great central performance by Harry Dean, it is born of the politics of its' time yet not at all a political film. Killer soundtrack for any era. Best God damn…

This film is out of this world, in the sense that I want this as far from me as possible
ty lovedRepo Manawesome movie i wish repo men were real
Lee is "meh" onRepo ManSure it’s punk and everything you need for a cult classic, but I just did not enjoy how barebones and uneventful it is (until the last 15min). It reminded me of Six String Samurai a bit, and how much I’d rather be watching that instead.

Nick DeMattei dislikedRepo ManMy dad made me watch this when I had a 103 fever. I don’t know how much of what I remember about the movie is real, but if its right I don’t want to rewatch it anyways.
Kaidoz lovedRepo ManAnother time capsule film that fits its timeline perfectly. The American Hardcore scene is shown in this film in all its best and worst. Plus Aliens? Maybe?
SpindlyMan dislikedRepo ManDrab. Bad acting. Terrible pacing. Bad effects. Incohesive story. Stoped halfway thru and came back the next day. Should have just left it at half watched.
- Isabel Pichardo lovedRepo Man
Love all the punk references and the silly tangents that happen, I fully understand why it’s a cult classic
Jimmy Cricket lovedRepo ManCool nihilistic, cult classic that has been beautifully shot and features fun outdated effects
Nothuman likedRepo ManReally funny movie with a wild plot but it’s just so punk and 80s that it all works perfectly

Metacritic
Whether it works as a traditional motion picture is up for debate. However, it’s short enough (about 90 minutes) that it never overstays its welcome and is generally a fun, wild ride, even though it may at times be difficult to figure out where the journey began and where, as the 1964 Chevy leaves the streets like Doc’s DeLorean in Back to the Future, it ends.

The real thing. It's a sneakily rude, truly zany farce that treats its lunatic characters with a solemnity that perfectly matches the way in which they see themselves.
Vincent Canby
The New York Times
A non-stop, shoestring trip with more adventures and a helluva lot more smarts than you'll find in most American movies...All in all, there's more plain fun to be had here in 10 minutes than in a whole hour on the road with that jerk Indiana Jones.
