Zero to Sixty

Imagine "Repo Man" with Olivia Barash replacing Emilio and acting as mentor to Harry Dean Stanton. Nickerson and McGavin make it work, with a nod to Sylvia Miles. Meanwhile, the many cult elements that make Repo Man worthwhile are absent here, Joan Collins and (ugh) the slapsticky Hudson Brothers no substitute. David Huddleston shows up for five minutes. It's a mess, the car chases aren't especially interesting, the seduction subplot hobbles the leads' chemistry somewhat... but I still liked it.
