Hobo With a Shotgun is a 2011 Canadian thriller film that stars Rutger Hauer, Pasha Ebrahimi and Robb Wells. It was directed by Jason Eisener and written by John Davies. It is a gruesome, gory, and over the top tale of vigilante justice mixed in with some campy humor that makes it entertaining. The film follows a homeless man who travels to a small town looking for a fresh start. However, this town is overrun by corrupt criminals who are terrorizing the townspeople. The Hobo, who is played by Rutger Hauer, takes it upon himself to clean up the streets with his own brand of justice. Armed with just a shotgun, he sets out to rid the town of the criminal gangs and their violent leader known as The Drake.

The plot of the film is simple, but it is the execution that makes it stand out. The film is heavily influenced by Grindhouse films of the 1970s, with its over the top violence, blood and gore. The violence is graphic, almost cartoonish which makes it an experience in itself. The filmmakers have gone out of their way to create a film that is entertaining and outrageous.

Rutger Hauer's performance as the Hobo is fantastic, he plays the character with grit and determination that makes you really believe in his quest for justice. His character is a man who has seen the worst in people and has nothing left to lose. He is a man who has been pushed to the edge and is now fighting back. Hauer's performance elevates the film and makes it more than just a gore fest.

Pasha Ebrahimi and Robb Wells also give solid performances as two of the townspeople who join the Hobo's fight. They bring a sense of humor to the film that is much needed to break up the violence. Their characters provide a lighter side to the film, which is welcomed considering what is happening around them.

The visuals of the film are superb, with vibrant colors and interesting camera angles. The cinematography complements the film's over-the-top nature and provides some great shots. The filmmaker's use of color gives the film a unique look that sets it apart from other films in its genre.

The film's soundtrack is also very good, with a mix of contemporary and classic rock. The music complements the film and the action perfectly. The songs are loud and in your face, much like the film itself.

In conclusion, Hobo With a Shotgun is a movie that is not for the faint-hearted. It is a brutal, gruesome, and in-your-face experience that is not for everyone. However, if you can stomach the violence and gore, it is an entertaining film that is worth a watch. The film's unique look, great performances, and excellent soundtrack make it stand out from other films in its genre.
