Down on his luck, punk Emilio Estevez is tricked into taking a job at a company that reposesses cars (hence Repo Man) by Harry Dean Stanton. & though in the beginning he shows little enthusiasm, he soon begins to like his work, with all the action & car-chases. At the same time, 4 dead aliens were stolen from a government lab & are now in some trunk of some Chevy Malibu somewhere in LA. That alone is bad enough, worse still is that the radiation of the dead aliens kills instantly. & of course, since the government wants to reposess it, they offer $ 20,000 to anyone who brings back their car. So, before long, everybody is after the car, the government, the repo men, their competition, a gang of punks, & of course some crazy revolutionaries. The search for the car is not helped at all though, that the car changes drivers every few minutes & everybody seems to be too preoccupied with his own problems anyway to even notice the car going by. But after lots of chases & action, the car is actually found - by everybody at the same time -, glowing green like the promise it is to everybody & it is about to break, but it doesn't seem to friendly anymore, now shooting everybody coming near it, except for Tracey Walters, the only character in the movie not crazy about driving (in fact he doesn't know how to drive at all), & in the kitsch-ending, he & Estevez fly off in the Chevy Malibu.

 


Now this synopsis might sound like a run-of-the-mill sci-fi actioner - & nothing could be further from the point. Director Alex Cox understands to carefully balance the action & science fiction elements with his brand comedy & social satire, peppered with a cast of uniformly strong characters, all showing the director's predilection for caricature, but nevertheless never just plain silly. All in all, an extremely funny ride, but never stupid or mindless.
