This once existed only as a trailer to Grindhouse but one day some one decided to go on ahead and make the film. I mean, it has a catchy title, in a Snakes on a plane sort of way. And the idea of a sort of comedy action film with Rutger Hauer as a hobo with a shotgun sounded like it might be vaguely entertaining.
The plot is this: hobo shows up in an ultra violent town. Ultra violent things occur. Blood. Gore. Death.
I don’t have much to say about this film. I hated it. Absolutely hated it. Possibly even more than I hated the god-awful Observe and Report. It was just plain nasty. With extra nasty on the side.It glories in the nasty, to be honest. I have no objection to violence in a film. Classy action filled violence that is. But when we are spending more time looking at the suffering of people, well, thats just not what I find entertaining. Maybe my expectations were out of whack, I was hoping for something as entertaining as Black Dynamite, but these two films are poles apart.

Hobo with a shotgun, I know
I know, it's serious.
Hobo with a shotgun, I know
I know, it's really serious.
There were times when he could
Have murdered me
But you know he would hate
Anything to happen to me
No, I don't want to see him
Do you really think
He'll shoot me?
Do you really think
He'll shoot me?
Hobo with a shotgun, I know

Agh, agh, agh, agh, agh, agh hobo goodbye
There were times when he could have
Strangled me
But you know he would hate anything to happen to me
Would you tell me if you see him?
Do you really think
He'll shoot me?
Do you really think
He'll shoot me?
Let me whisper my last goodbyes
I know, it's serious.
