"I first encountered Alex Cox’s sci-fi slamdance when I was a sullen, unworldly, unformed teenager—which is the perfect time to find a movie both as rageful and as hopeful as Repo Man. So much of the film’s DNA has been Brundlefly’d with my own—from its hardcore-punk soundtrack to its corporate-conspiracy mindset—that I rewatch it at least once a year, just to make sure I can still connect with Otto and his legion of goons. And the cover artwork, by the great Jay Shaw, is absolutely my favorite bit of Criterion edition art (I’m still trying to track down a poster on eBay)."

Movie Rating

2008 conspiracy techno-thriller starring Shia LaBeouf (remember him?) and Michelle Monaghan, as two strangers who get pulled into a high-tech plot by a female voice in the other end of the phone.

This might sound a bit strange, but remember The Matrix?

The bit where Neo is receiving instructions from Morpheus on how to escape from his office workplace?

That's the type of thing going on here: do this. Do that. Jump now. Get on this train. Drive at speed straight ahead (with all the lights turning green). And so forth and so on...

Maybe also a touch of Skynet about it all...
