Review of Hobo with a Shotgun (2007) by Justin H — 30 Aug 2011
Hobo looking for change....great gorey, silly horror triumph.
This 1980's styled horror genre cult attempt is a mighty fine effort and a great film for 2011. Yes HWAS is a silly, sick, gore-fest vigilante romp, but what it does it does excellently for fans of this type of horror. Some of Hobo is Tarantino-esque and thus a worthy watch.
Rutger Haur is brilliant as a tired, angry and infuriated hobo tramp. In the chaotic city of Hope Land, Hobo Haur has had enough, saving then befriending a young prostitute, amidst riotous robbers and thugs. All he wanted to do was save up for a lawnmower to go legit, but a robbery brings him into a violent rampage to clean up the streets. The city is being run by coke fiend villains The Duke and his moronic teen sons. This battle thus concludes a great tongue in cheek horror film, with a retro fun feel, in the manner it all begins.
