Cut cult.
What is striking, in addition to a nice soundtrack, is the fact that everything is well portrayed and the story is at least original. Like the editing, it is probably mostly unintentionally comical. The script is also a mess and halfway through, things drop to a very dubious level.
Mediocre.

Reasonable film about a young man who gets a job reclaiming cars from people who don't pay their bills. The course of this original and above all idiosyncratic film is not easy to predict. It is therefore all quite absurd and with insane characters. It may all make no sense, but the film is full of small, funny moments. And Los Angeles is also beautifully portrayed here.

Haha, what a nice contrarian film that is difficult to put into one genre. Repo Man has been a cult film for many years. You really don't know where it's all going: a young guy finds a job as a 'repo man' and has to steal cars from people who don't pay off their debts. Until a Chevy Malibu is spotted that is worth a lot of money. But the repos aren't the only ones behind this strange car. Obscure government agents, car thieves, punks and UFO cultists stand in each other's way. The humor is absurd, dark but it all works as it should. It gets a bit chaotic towards the end, but I really enjoyed it.
