After being fired from his job, Los Angeles slacker and punk rocker Otto (Emilio Estevez) lands a gig working for an eccentric repossession agent named Bud (Harry Dean Stanton). At first, Otto is reluctant to work as a repo man, but he grows to love the fast-paced job. After learning of a Chevy Malibu that has been given a $20,000 price tag, Otto embarks on a quest to find the car with the beautiful Leila (Olivia Barash), who claims the trunk's contents are otherworldly.

Repo Man

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Repo Man is many things: an alien-invasion film, a punk-rock musical, a send-up of consumerism. One thing it isn't is boring.

Repo Man is the saltiest, sweetest, most sublimely sleazy tickle in the Los Angeles ribs. If it doesn't convulse you with belly laughs, then you're a stiff.

Movie Nation

There are stretches when the only thing propelling this forward and giving it any pace is the Tito Larriva and The Plugz Latino punk/surf rock score, which sounds like Dick Dale went Tex Mex.

Rated: 2.5/4

The quirky and punk 80s were good for something.

Film Inquiry

Repo Man is, if nothing else, one of a kind. This mash-up of sci-fi, humor, and peculiarities, is a cult classic worthy of its following and influential in its intrinsically offset experience. It’s freak, and that’s a good thing.

Mickey R One of the best movies. You can watch it over and over and see things that you didn't catch the first time. Tarantino used a lot of this movies SoCal type of life in his movies. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review BROOKSAND H I don't know how I missed this cult classic but I'm glad this film found me today. Emilio Estevez plays Otto a young, angry, confused punk who is searching for life's answers when he falls into becoming a Repo Man. Through the job he finds love, conflict, possible aliens and most importantly himself. I absolutely loved it! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Georgan G Have to give this film credit for being very unique and a cult classic. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Hagbard C The 80's Reagan didn't want you to know about. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Khalid K So stupid, it's stupid. It attracts people who want to seem intelligent and so they find hidden meaning. There is no meaning here. It's stupid, not funny, stupid.
