Alex Cox’s Repo Man isn’t quite as cool as it makes itself out to be. A hodgepodge compendium of prankish antics on the fringes of the Los Angeles slums, Repo Man constantly goes off in all directions with some funny bits and with lots of weirdness tied into a punk rock sensibility and a general malaise with the life and times of Reagan’s America. For the generation who made it and grew up loving it, it’s likely nirvana, but all others will likely find its charms fleeting at best.
