Review – Repo Man

I may not be in the best position to judge this picture, because I first saw it when I was at just the right age to really love it. But all these years later I still think it’s great. And I still use lines from it from time to time when the occasion suits. Though technically it’s a bit rough, the low-budget feel of the production is in perfect keeping with the plot, the story of a punk (back in the 80s when that still meant something) who ends up working as a repo man. But no synopsis could ever do justice to the small touches that run throughout. Honestly, this is one of the best-written movies I’ve ever seen. I’m fond of my metal box special edition, which includes one of the best soundtrack albums ever put together. However, just the movie itself is still worth having. I’ve seen it at least a dozen times, and each time I see something I didn’t notice before. That sort of movie is the kind of thing that goes in a permanent collection. Buy the disc
