I been waiting to see this film for awhile. I finally got to watch it with a couple of Xbox LIVE friends on Netflix. I have to say it worth the wait. I definitely getting the film on blu-ray. With a title of movie like this you know it not going to be serious but man it was a crazy film. Think of the film as a homage to the low budget gory action/thriller, grindhouse, and 80's John Carpenter soundtrack all in one. As some people know I love the "Grindhouse" movie that came out. "Death Proof" and "Planet Terror" are really some films that I hope develop a cult classic status, they both were fantastic in sense they were two different films that I can not compare.
So anyway on to the film. Rutger Hauer was a perfect choice and I thought he would turn something like this down to be honest. If you don't know him he played in the scifi masterpiece know as "Blade Runner" (also liked him in "The Hitcher" not the remake). Anyways like the title implies, he is a hobo with a shotgun. But it more to it, he really wanted a lawn mower but as seeing the town he was drifting through was corrupt and ugly, like every other Bronson type he decides to deliver his own justice. The movie has some of the most over the top gory scene that made me laugh pretty hard. I try to find the scene that made me laugh the most, it was scene when the Santa Claus pervert finally got shot and what the hobo said to him. I will not try to give anymore away. Also the the soundtrack was superb and the ending theme was just perfect. So I will live you with the theme and hopefully more people will see this film.
