Repo Man Reviews

“It happens sometimes. People just explode. Natural causes.”

An absolutely bonkers film that has no right to be as good as it fucking is. Repo Man earns without a doubt its cult-classic status, it’s funny, original, of its time and especially, brilliantly clever. From the very first frame you can tell this is going to be special.

1st Act 8.8/10 (A nice banger start that can be lacklustre at times but delivers particular excellence in its dynamic department.

2nd Act 9.4/10 (HIGH TEST MOVIE, KICK ASS AND DO CRIMES, LIKE EAT SUSHI AND NOT PAY.)

3rd Act 9.7/10 (80s Sci-Fi at some of its very best, entertainingly R nothing being overdone for the sake of it, not top of that, it’s a visual marvel with its effects.)

Plot 9.7/10 (Reposes cars and aliens, holy peak.)

Soundtrack/Score 9.4/10 (Oozing with 80s kick-ass music.)

Acting 9.5/10 (Tracy Walter, Stanton and Esteves are absolutely incredible, truly gems from their time.)

Pacing 9.2/10 (Thrilling at times, can be slightly slow, but pretty great all around.)

Cinematography 9.6/10 (Some beautiful shots, some amazing use of special effects and to top it all off some peak goddamn lighting.)

Character Development 8.7/10 (Not the type of movie for it, but it’s pretty standard as is.)

Writing 9.4/10 (Some of the most quotable lines I’ve had the pleasure of hearing.)

Ending 9.8/10 (Holy was that a nice ending, loved the green hue, original and really adds to the originality.)

Direction 9.1/10 (Makes this feel a bit hennenlotter-esque, or as my dad would say, hennenlotter without the sleaze.)

Overall
112.3/120
9.2/10

awesome movie i wish repo men were real

This film is out of this world, in the sense that I want this as far from me as possible

Like man wtf

8/18/26: ughhhhhh, no. I’m so sorry so many of you had this forced upon you as a child. I’m so sad that men

I saw this with my dad because he was saying it was a right of passage in our family. IT WAS SO GOOD AND I LAUGHED SO HARD. One of my new favorite movies.

👌

Life of a Repo Man is intense!

Comedic masterpiece for real

Love all the punk references and the silly tangents that happen, I fully understand why it’s a cult classic

the more you drive, the less intelligent you are

Drab. 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.

Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole.

My 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.

This was honestly better than I expected, pretty great movie.

8.5/10 solid 80s sci-fi film

Sure 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.

Really funny movie with a wild plot but it’s just so punk and 80s that it all works perfectly

Absolute cult classic. Really fun, really inventive. just an absolute blast to watch

One of my all time favourite movies
