Repo Man
“It’s 4 a.m. Do you know where your car is?”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 64, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A young punk enters the repossession business and finds himself circling a car that attracts every wrong kind of attention. Alex Cox fills the job with conspiracy, aliens and contempt for nearly everyone's principles. The deliberately loose plot leaves plenty of room for its wonderfully sour humour.
