Simon Abrams Slant Magazine 01/22/2011
2.5/4
Like Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday, Alex Cox's unproduced first sequel to Repo Man, which was later turned into a comic book, Repo Chick is a typically flat caricature of the zeitgeist. Go to Full Review

2/5
Cox might yet again pull something astonishing from his ethos of trashcan poetry, but it simply didn't happen with "Repo Chick." Go to Full Review
Leslie Felperin Variety 01/18/2011
Although moderately enjoyable if not taken too seriously, the pic will prove a sadly all-too-expected disappointment for those anticipating a sequel to match Cox's much-loved 1984 cult hit. Go to Full Review
Kevin Carr 7M Pictures 10/14/2013
3/5
There's an energy behind Repo Chick that you don't always get from major studio releases, and this helps balance out the low-budget warts the film carries. Go to Full Review
Bill Gibron PopMatters 03/05/2011
4/5
Repo Chick is a social reflection so bright and direct that it's often hard to look at. Not because it's so odd, mind you, but because it's so accurate in the targets it takes on. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker MSN.com 02/13/2011
The new film from Alex Cox is not a sequel to his cult classic Repo Man but a thoroughly screwy social satire... Go to Full Review

Cees T Dec 26 Worse effects but better editing than the first movie. 6.4/10 - Decent. See more 11/25/2014 Filmed rather weirdly - like agaisnst a blue screen but never the less its rather weak and silly. Its set in the future and deals with repossesion See more 08/06/2013 Written and directed by Alex Cox, who despite good luck in the mid 1980's, has never been able to get the big break he truly deserves, and after coming home to Merseyside with Revenger's Tragedy (2002), he went back to America and has set about making a series of microfeatures. Films made for around the $200,000 mark and it was made in 10 days in front of a greenscreen. It shares DNA with Repo Man (1984), but it's not a sequel or a remake, so what is it?? Set in an apocalyptic future in Los Angeles, Pixxi De La Chasse (Jaclyn Jonet) is an heiress in a rich family who has been involved in one too many tabloid scandal over the past few months, so Pixxi finds herself in a confrontation with father Aldrich (Xander Berkeley), Aunt (Karen Black) and Grandma (Frances Bay), who cut her out of getting an inheritance. Pixxi needs a job, and she finds one in the repossessing business, which is booming across America. She is very good at her job, and she even uses her new found power to get back at her family by emptying their accounts. But, Pixxi soon finds herself going for bigger fish, and goes after an antique train which has a $1,000,000 reward, but the train has 6 nuclear bombs which went missing after the Cold War on board. It's a unique way of doing a film, and it has a touch of Ralph Bakshi about it's artfulness, but Cox really needs to make peace with Hollywood and get back in their good books. Made with models which are clearly models, it is fun to a point, but Cox has fun with his microfeature concepts, and he has another one in development at the minute. Good luck to him. See more 04/12/2012 Has a fresh style using some new camera technologies, so it is a shame that the story is painstakingly dumb. See more 04/11/2012 Really didn't understand the point in this. It seemed to have a lot of interesting ideas - stylistically, visually, morally etc, but didn't pull any of them off. This made for frustrating viewing - particularly with the completely unlikeable protagonist, or indeed any likeable characters whatsoever. See more 04/09/2012 one off the worst movies ive ever watched, bad effects, bad acting, bad everything. See more Read all reviews
