Movie Review: Hobo With A Shotgun

When I found out the fake trailer from Grindhouse Hobo With A Shotgun was being made, I was giddy. The trailer was great and the concept was completely hilarious. Now that I have seen the film, I can say that Hobo With A Shotgun is not only a success, it's grindhouse perfected.

This is one of the goriest,violent,campy, and over-the-top films I have ever seen, but that's why it's so fun. The whole 85 minutes are full of corny fun. The plot and characters are utterly ridiclous, but it's part of the vintage B-movie fun. This film is so violent and gory it makes Machete look like an episode of Sesame Street. Rutger Hauer completely nails the role of  the Hobo. His performance make the Hobo one of the most fascinating and oddly likable characters in B-movie history. The cast of mostly unknowns all do a great job as well. Everyone involved seemed to get really into the obscene and crazy nature of this film and they all nailed their parts. Hobo With A Shotgun is not for the faint of heart or anyone that is easily offended. But if you don't mind large amounts of violence and gore, then you will probably love the B-movie brilliance that Hobo With A Shotgun has to offer.

4.5/5 Stars
