The BEST grindhouse film. PERIOD.
***1/2 out of (****)Eisener’s exploitative 80’s grindhouse throwback, “Hobo with a Shotgun”, showcasing its brutality shamelessly, is easily the best grindhouse film to ever grace the silver screen. “Grindhouse”, “Machete”, and “Drive Angry 3D” are all strong staples to the beloved subgenre, but “Hobo” is where its at. It’s bigger, louder, and prouder. In all honesty, this is one of the goriest films I’ve seen in a while, and it takes a lot for me to say that because even the goriest Saw film doesn’t fulfill my bloody craving. The best part about “Hobo” is not only doesn’t it play it safe, but there’s so much meaning, and depth underneath it, and is executed so strongly that the message never becomes lost or preachy.
“Hobo” revolves around well… a hobo. An anonymous one at that who witnesses the catastrophes of the city, and decides to fight back.
First of all, the plot is just ingenious. A hobo who’s tired of getting picked on and besmirched by the townspeople decides to take a stand. Not only is it a badass story, but can’t we all relate to the plot? Haven’t we all been pushed around too long, and just wanted to do something. To be something truly special. Also, while the deaths are pretty sick, there’s more meat on these bones. The film relies on what a film should rely on. Its characters. The relationship between Abby and the hobo is a strong one. I actually cared about these two. What does it say if a film of the title “Hobo with a Shotgun” has more character development than 95% of the garbage being released today?
To put the icing on the cake, the production values are sweet. This film has a superb nostalgic look, and it’s one of the most colorful and vibrant movies projected on screen. But why are we here? For the deaths! And boy, do they not disappoint. Eating glass, decapitating heads, and shots to the head are not even the goriest segments. Actually, they’re the tamest. Not only that but almost every five minutes there’s blood. Whether a dead body in a shot, random blood, or a kill occurring. This is just a huge blood bath. And a great one at that.
Also, what I loved about this movie is the lack of gratuitous nudity. I hate how almost every grindhouse flick has to have the need to throw in random boobs or sex in the film. I know it’s part of the titillation, but it’s rather absurd, and feels out of context. “Hobo” had one scene exposing those jugs, and it actually fit the mood because of its humor. However, it was just THAT scene and wasn’t littered throughout the movie.
Ignore those reviewers saying they were “disappointed” because it wasn’t “what they were expecting”. If you’re expecting a good time, dammit, you’re going to get one. Two strong leads, heaps and heaps of blood, a slick story, and some solid production values. You’re going to tell me that doesn’t even get you excited in the slightest? “Hobo with a shotgun” might just be the best movie I’ll see this year. The others have just not delivered on what they promised. How sad is it to see a movie with this title can actually be the best movie of the year, when probably half of the Oscar choices will be pretentious dribble. Don’t even think about seeing this film. Just do it. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
When I grow up I wanna be a Hobo with a Shotgun.
Bloody babe: “You can’t save the world with a shotgun.”Hobo: “It’s the only thing I know.”
It’s true. Once he put that shotgun in his Hobo mittens he and shotgun became one. From this moment forth, whenever you hear the word, Hobo, you will always think, Shotgun. The shotgun is the Yang to the Hobo’s Ying.
Rutger Hauer plays the slightly-losing it old hobo who after decades has finally realized what he wants to do with his life – be a landscaper; he wants to mow lawns. So, on his ventures of hoboing up and down the railroad tracks looking for a means to a beginning, he’s arrived at ‘Scumtown’, and this is where he meets up with trusty ole Shotgun.
See, Scumtown is controlled by Drake and Sons. Three psychopathic dudes who get serious kicks out of decapitation, burn victims and simply put, gore. Confused ole Rutger the Hobo is privy to just one too many counts of evil and puts his shoe (with the hole in the toe) down. What follows is a tale of revenge, then more revenge and then…some more! Blood!
On the over-the-top action and splatter, this movie delivers big time. It’s basically non-stop offensive, silly, gross action. But what makes it stand-out over any other recent modern exploit flick is the style it moves with. Karim Hussain of Subconscious Cruelty fame helms the camera here and does a very good job doing so. It’s vibrant, colorful, and had just enough creativity to raise an eye brow or two.
Any real gripes by me are related to the writing as that it’s so supremely OTT with countless swears and screaming it verges on head-ache worthy. And the emotional scenes are so sappy and cliché that it does nothing besides make ya roll yer eyes or crack a grin. So, with that said, it’s not really complaints per se, but just silly aspects of the film that wear thin faster than the others.
As I said, from this moment on, the Hobo Shotgun duo are now joined at the hips – if it wasn’t already. This is a bona-fide insane film with boner-fried sights (literally) and lots of the red stuff. You really can’t ask for much more from this film, and maybe, you might be asking for less.
