Hobo With A Shotgun (2011)

I'm so so very tired of "homage" films labeled as indie or cult films. I really expected nothing out of this film. Honestly a little humor or good one liners would have been enough [kind of like Dead Snow or Army of Darkness]. The film was cheaply made, and it looks cheap.

Made along the lines of Grindhouse, and a homage to those types of film, but not exactly. If you saw Grindhouse you might remember there were two fake movie trailers, Machete and Hobo With A Shotgun... now neither are fake... So the idea for this film wasn't even that original.

Rutger Hauer was enjoyable to watch, he actually has a golden globe for a made for TV movie, and him running around with a shotgun was kinda cool. The supporting actors and script were just awful though. Gregory Smith as Slick was just terrible. The whole group of bad guys had such terrible lines that it was almost unwatchable. Last comment is the gore, I have a pretty high tolerance for gore from growing up watching lots of horror movies was even too much for me.

Not as good as people might be telling you, avoid it.

Vote: 2/10
