      Simon Abrams Slant Magazine 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 22, 2011 Full Review Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times Cox might yet again pull something astonishing from his ethos of trashcan poetry, but it simply didn't happen with "Repo Chick." Rated: 2/5 Jan 20, 2011 Full Review Leslie Felperin Variety 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. Jan 18, 2011 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures 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. Rated: 3/5 Oct 14, 2013 Full Review Bill Gibron PopMatters 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. Rated: 4/5 Mar 5, 2011 Full Review Sean Axmaker MSN.com The new film from Alex Cox is not a sequel to his cult classic Repo Man but a thoroughly screwy social satire...

      bobby b Heartbreaking sequel to the greatest movie of all time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Has a fresh style using some new camera technologies, so it is a shame that the story is painstakingly dumb. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member one off the worst movies ive ever watched, bad effects, bad acting, bad everything. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
