Hobo With a Shotgun

If the title makes you cringe, or roll your eyes in disgust or stick your nose in the air as if you can smell how bad it’s going to be just by reading what’s on the poster, then this movie, isn’t for you. Set in a poorly defined apocalyptic future, Hobo With a Shotgun tells the story of a hobo (Rutger Hauer) as he tries to scrape out a living collecting cans from dumpsters and garbage pails to get enough money for a little food, a little booze and, with any luck, have a little left over to save to make his dream of buying an old lawnmower and starting a grass cutting business come true. It’s insanely over- the-top and, for fans of films like this, extremely satisfying.
