Repo Man (1984) Sci-Fi Marathon

Repo Man (1984) - Punk Otto (Emilio Estevez) falls into a job with a group of auto repossession professionals and through this work gets wrapped up in the plot to get a car that has alien bodies in the trunk. Naturally there are many people looking for the car. It is also a story about growing up and making choices about your life.
What I liked: The movie is funny and philosophical. It also capture a real punk attitude, has a great soundtrack including, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Iggy Pop and Plugz. So many great characters showing a unique profession to tell a story.
What didn't work: Ending was out there. Debbi, (Jennifer Balgobin) was just dreadful.
Rating (7.2)
