Reviews of Hobo with a Shotgun 2011
-
I was already tired of these faux-exploitation films before watching Hobo with a Shotgun but my, am I now. Totally over-the-top and beyond sanity, the school bus scene left a sour taste in my mouth that destroyed even the smallest chance of me liking this movie. I guess it'll find its audience.

It was a tad violent. "I'm gonna wash away my blood... with your blood!"
-
It's one of those bad on purpose movies that I generally don't like, this one was entertaining, yet completely forgettable, I think the over saturated shots were what kept me distracted during some parts of it, I don't think I really laughed at this and I didn't feel like it was good, so that leaves me unsure of how exactly I was entertained, but I was.

This film tries too hard to be a cult classic and falls way short. Some great splatter, though.

Somehow this is a lot more twisted than I was expecting.
This is no holds-barred senseless violence, based around one hobo pushed to far by the corruption of the city.
It is funny, at times, a really sick sense of humour, at times it is also quite sweet. Moments between Abby the Whore and the Hobo.
Rutger Hauer (The Hobo) is incredible, I don't know what else he has been in, but I definately want to find out.

Everything I ever wanted with these movies, so happy they went through with converting the trailer to an actual movie. The violence was fantastic, storyline was insane, and the way in which lines were delivered was fantastic.

So fucking insane, I feel like it drop kicked my morals as soon as I pressed play. It's so offensive and so OTT, I couldn't help but love it. And Rutger Hauer is great.

I'd heard about this a lot of times from various people, and I wish it hadn't taken me so long to see it. It was great. The style & tone reminiscent of good Troma, a very good 80's kind of atmosphere, great characterisation that made you really feel for our titular hobo and some stunning gore. Definitely recommend this.

"I'm gonna wash this blood off my face... with YOUR blood!" - Slick
This is one of those movies where I will be constantly trying to work quotes from it into every conversation I have. I fell in love with this movie. Then out of it. The back in. The violence gets over the top a lot, and sometimes it's fun to sink into the decadence, but occasionally it's so completely over the top I couldn't take it. Though it… -
"Hobo with a Shotgun", could a movie with such a title be any good?
Well, that depends on one's personal definition of good. There's not much of a story to be found here. Our beloved Hobo (played by Rutger Hauer) comes riding into town on a train, looking for food and eating glass for dollars (!?). He soon develops a liking for a local prostitute, and starts saving up for his big dream: buying a lawnmower. However, it seems fate…
