- Harry Dean Stanton as Bud, the wired but sage reposession expert. Bud buys it in the end. Harry is 82 years old now, what a shame. Anybody in Cool Hand Luke gets my reverence.
- Emilio Estevez as Otto the punk rocker without a vocation. It must relly suck to have the highlight of your career be the Mighty Ducks trilogy.
Punker Otto is fired from his supermarket job, then gets dumped by his girlfriend. On the streets Bud tricks him into the repossession of a car. When Otto finds out that his parents donated his college money to a televangelist, he starts his new career in a repossession agency. During training, he is thrown into a paranoid world of theft and violence. Otto then meets a new girlfriend who is a UFO conspiracy theorist. Then the story turns really weird, asked to repossess a 1964 Chevy Malibu. The car turns out to be driven by a lobotomized government scientist, who is driving the car with aliens locked in the truck. Anybody who opens the trunk is burned to a cinder. In the end Otto and Miller the mechanic fly the car away like a spaceship.
Score 9 of 50, really, really bad, must have had a few drinks in me to have spent money to see it in the theatre.
- Character Development 2 out of 10. Not good.
- Acting 2 out of 10. Not good, even though I love Harry Dean Stanton.
- Photography, cinematography 1 of 10. At least it was in color.
- Writing, script 1 out of 10.
- Concept 3 out of 10. Points for strangeness and originality.
