Review of Repo Man (1984) by Jarkko S — 06 Aug 2009
You know, I can't decide if I like this movie or not. I like Harry Dean Stanton's acting. I like the punks. I like the action. The repo man concept is good. But other parts of this movie are just incredibly stupid like the aliens, and the guy who can't drive and talks about time machines.
I mean I know its supposed to be some kind of weird social commentary but there are limits to how much stupidity I can tolerate. I'm also not a big fan of Emilio Estevez though this is one of his better roles.
Maybe if they had focused more on the repo man thing, the movie would have been better. And the ending sucks. I don't know what they were smoking when they came up with that. Overall, its a mix of good and bad.
Check it out but I recommend going in with low expectations.
