Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

It's probably a little hard to take Emilio Estevez seriously as a disaffected punk turned car re-possessor after three "Mighty Ducks" movies and that crazy celluloid dream with brother Charlie where they played garbage men, but that's hardly wasteland ...read the complete Repo Man movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Chicago Reader (Dave Kehr)

Cox's style is a step beyond camp into a comedy of pure disgust; much of the film is churlishly unpleasant, but there's a core of genuine anger that gives the project an emotional validation lacking in the flabby American comedies of the early 80s....read the complete Repo Man (1984) review at Chicago Reader (Dave Kehr)
