Gritty and cheap looking, but fun and strange and unique. One of the kings of cult films. Not quite my taste, but you have to admire it.

Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Instant cult-movie about a new-wave punk who takes a job repossessing cars. Mixes social satire and science-fiction with engaging results, though a little of this film goes a long way. Stanton is perfect as a career repo man who shows Estevez the ropes. Michael Nesmith was executive producer. Cox prepared a special version for TV.

Great fun. Reagan-era punx and punk rock, conspiracy theories, wacked scientists, and the very same mysterious glowing crap that was in the briefcase in "Pulp Fiction". Buy this movie and make it your religion.
