Operation Repo: The Movie

I don't like to make light of anyone's misfortunes, but the series for this movie was hilarious! I work in the auto finance business and have interacted with many people trying to avoid repossessions by any means necessary. To avoid ugly scenes as depicted in the show, customers should be pro-active and contact the lender BEFORE any payment is missed. It's possible the lender may be willing to work out an arrangement or defer the payment, depending on circumstances. Unfortunately, people try to "hide" their vehicles or become combative and confrontational when the repo man shows up. The lender just wants its money, much as any employee expects his/her paycheck after working for 2 weeks. It's not an unreasonable expectation; the desire to be paid goes both ways. No, I don't always take the side of the lender. But it's possible a lot of repos can be avoided if only the registered owner of the vehicle maintains dialogue with the lender and keeps promises to make payments when the schedule has been adjusted to accommodate the customer's financial situation. I hope this series and movie demonstrate how NOT to act in these situations.

I binge watched the entire series of operation repo, loved the TV series, the characters and all the mishaps that happened along the way.

Because I binge watch the show I got burnt out, I knew the movie existed but left it for when I felt like watching it again.

I'm not even sure I can push through this.

The quality of this abomination is no where near at the same standard as the TV series.

The camera work is choppy, the acting is atrocious, it's bad, just really really bad.

I honestly don't know how they screwed this up so badly, I'm not even sure if they watched the movie themselves afterwards because if they did they should have trashed it and started again, they need to hang their heads in shame for going ahead and releasing this crime against television.

I mean what can you say about a movie that went out and hired Joey Buttafuoco? That screams quality. Putting aside he colorful past, the man isn't even an actor. The only time you hire someone to act in something who isn't an actor would be if they were family, and that's an even scarier thought than the big blonde's drawn-on eyebrows. I am in the repossession business, not the actual hooking of the cars, I am a skip tracer, an investigator who finds the debtors and where they are hiding the vehicles. This show gives everyone in the business a bad name. I don't know of anyone in this profession that has hired these people to repossess anything. More times than not, we have to correct debtors who are worried about this company coming to repossess their property. If you want to see honest footage of a company that is a hardworking group of people watch Jam Recovery on the National Geographic channel when they air their documentary about the repossession business.

I just finished binge watching Operation Repo, which, I know, it isn't a great show, ok.. it's a D+ of a show, show I then see there is a " film." You have the same cast from the show, but, the acting is overly dramatic.

I don't know who originally aired this, but, this feels like a very bad Tele Novela. The cast were not actors before this project, so everyone is too stiff and over acting. When I watch movies like this, I feel bad for the money wasted and what could have been put to it instead. I can't even say " well, they tried", this is worse than a high school film project. What made Operation Repo, good, or, well watchable, it was about Repo's. But this, this is trying to be too hard to be the Tele Novela Taken.

Hard out.

Such a stupid show, how can they be getting a movie now? If you want to see a repo show, watch Jacked...they're actually legit people running a legit business and most importantly are NOT spreading falsities about what repo people can and cannot do.

Reposessors can not engage the public in violence, they can defend themselves but if someone thinks they're going to get tackled for no reason while their car is getting repossessed, that's dangerous...what if they end up bringing a gun and overreact? Can you believe people actually defend the legitimacy of this show?

My opinion of the general public gets worse and worse with shows like this but more importantly with people who ENJOY and defend shows like this thinking it's real.
