Hobo With A Shotgun

Movies


You are about to see the goriest movie of 2011. If you can make it through the first ten minutes you will be fine. Hobo With A Shotgun is a perfect movie and one of the best grindhouse style films ever made! I think the movie is about the American dream, a man who is literally starting from the bottom trying to start his own business while overcoming greed, poverty, and the most perverse parts of humanity. However, I could be wrong. The movie is about a homeless man who is starting over in a new town. The problem is that life in Scumtown is cheap and most of the citizens are damn savages. Once he is attacked and tortured by the locals, he takes it upon himself to clean up the streets! The hobo begins a war of blood and gore against petty thugs, a corrupt police force, a pedophile Santa Claus, breaks up a bumfighting ring and has a showdown with supernatural forces. The first time I watched this movie I had to pause it a few times to ask myself “what the hell am I watching?” But, the mix over the top violence, comedy, and overall creativity of the movie kept me watching. It also has some of the best and worst one liners I have ever heard in a movie, but that’s the point! Hobo With A Shotgun is a fun time.
