If you love to watch a vulgar violent movie, then Hobo with the Shotgun is the right answer. This one of recent movie releases of the month provides you with many blood shed and gore and bodies ripped away everywhere. And to add up all those horrible scenes, the main character is carrying a shotgun (as the title has explained) everywhere and thinks that he can vanish all the corruption in the world with it. It is a quite doubt that Hollywood film industry will throw out this kind of movie too often.

Hobo with a Shotgun is a 2011 Canadian action exploitation film directed by Jason Eisener and written by John Davies.

Plot: A vigilante homeless man pulls into a new city and finds himself trapped in urban chaos, a city where crime rules and where the city's crime boss reigns. Seeing an urban landscape filled with armed robbers, corrupt cops, abused prostitutes and even a pedophile Santa, the Hobo goes about bringing justice to the city the best way he knows how - with a 20-gauge shotgun. Mayhem ensues when he tries to make things better for the future generation. Street justice will indeed prevail.

And very much fortunately, the actors had done well in this movie. Especially Rutger Hauer as the dirty beggar hobo who turns himself into the hero of the film. His rough face is the best thing to represent the core of the story, and his gesture and expression has added all up to the essence of the violence here. It’s all great, though frightening much. This movie is very much rough and dirty, but surely rare as a product of certain film production company. It is hardly an entertainment for certain moviegoers, but it can be analternative for those who want to run from the “horrible” movies lately.

While Hobo won't reach theaters until May, it is already on VOD, with a new trailer and clip to help promote it.
