This very funny movie stars Emilio Estevez as a young man in search of a job. He finds one that he can really sink his teeth into: he becomes a man who repossesses cars that people have not kept up payments on. One day, he comes across a 1964 Chevy Malibu with a strange air about it–which is because aliens from outer space may be involved. This movie is different from the usual fare and deserves a watch.
