Hobo With A Shotgun

"Hobo With A Shotgun" is the name of the film. The name alone holds so much promise, whether it be a campy fun action romp like "Snakes On A Plane" or even it performed a 180 and equalled that of Charles Bronson's epic "Death Wish" series. The name alone is what drew me to the movie. I never saw any previews for it, but figured that it'd be alright. That it might be a clone of the Tarantino-style of moviemaking that so many embellish, but no. It's every bit as bad as I feared it might be.

It's Canadian-made, filmed in Nova Scotia, and although Canadian movies have been getting better and better in recent years, this film has made this medium devolve ten-fold. It even stars Rutger Hauer, who starred in the mid-80's in movies like "Bladerunner", "Wanted Dead or Alive", "Ladyhawke" and "The Hitcher", but no amount of star power was going to save this film from spiralling down the toilet bowl.

For any potential movie goers who comes across this blog, please take heed and consideration for the advice I am about to give you. Save your money. Save your hour and half. You'll not get the value out of either. Instead, do that which I wish I'd have done instead. Bash your head against the wall. I guarantee you'll see a better show. That much is for certain.
