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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
There are endless things to enjoy, from Robby Muller's crisp camerawork to a superb set of performances, from witty movie parodies to a tremendous punk soundtrack.
Repo Man comes out of left field, has no big stars, didn't cost much, takes chances, dares to be unconventional, is funny, and works. There is a lesson here.
It's very entertaining, and though it's rude in an R-rated way, it has the good taste never to promise more than it can deliver.
Repo Man has the type of unerring energy that leaves audiences breathless and entertained.
