In a journey to earn his way out of poverty, a homeless man pulls into a city of urban chaos, where crime prevails and the city’s crime boss reigns with violent and bloody malice. Seeing this urban landscape filled with armed robbers, corrupt cops and abused prostitutes, the Hobo soon abandons his plans and turns vigilante in order to deliver justice to this city of filth the only way he knows how - with a 20-gauge shotgun. Mayhem ensues as he tries to clean up the streets and make the city a better place for future generations. However with the city’s evil crime boss Drake standing in his way, will the Hobo’s own brand of street justice prevail? (Momentum Pictures)

Ninety-minute long grindhouse onanism with the ultimate climax. It doesn’t quite manage to imitate a B-movie from the 80s – perhaps no film of that era was as fun and bold as Hobo With a Shotgun. In some scenes, Eisner crosses the boundaries of what is usual to see in film productions: (spoiler) burning several children in a school bus (end of spoiler). A film like from another universe and Hauer’s best role. Paradoxically, I wasn’t looking forward much to it. PS: Hobo is not really great filmmaking, but it’s got heart. And balls. Edit: The five-star excitement fizzled out quite fast, I’m reducing it to a nice four-star rating.

I understand that I was supposed to have a laugh while watching this, like I did with Machete for instance. That was actually the only reason why I decided to watch the movie. But as opposed to Machete, here it seemed to me that the movie was utterly pointless, senseless and it had none of the things you would expect. That means absurdity, violence up the wazoo and omnipresent blood that splashes even from the flowers on the ground. This purpose-less bullshit of a movie however didn’t seem likeable at all to me. It wasn’t funny or even entertaining. Machete had all of those, which is why I really like his movies. And that’s despite the fact that I normally tend to ignore movies like these.
