Hobo With a Shotgun (2011)


I'm guessing that each individual will know right off the bat if Hobo With a Shotgun is a movie they will enjoy or not. I am the sort of person that would and I did. Discussing the inner workings of a grindhouse homage full of over the top violence, gore, ridiculous dialog, and only the slightest hint of a plot is a bit worthless so I'm not going to waste anyone's time. Rutger Hauer is a hobo, he goes to a town overrun with crime and cleans things up with the use of said shotgun alongside the requisite hooker with a heart of gold. Everything is done at such exaggerated levels that attempting to take the movie seriously is futile. If you need your cinema to be serious fare, stay far away from Hobo With a Shotgun. If you're up for a good time and some mindless fun, there are far worse ways to spend an hour and a half.
