Comingsoon:
A train pulls into its final station and a Hobo hops from a freight car. He has dreams of a fresh life in a new city, but finds himself trapped in an urban hell instead. A city where criminals rule the streets, landlords evict single mothers in the middle of the night, and where the city's crime boss, The Drake, reigns supreme with his sadistic, homeless-killing sons, Slick & Ivan. Through the chaos, the Hobo comes across a shop window displaying a second hand lawn mower and a shotgun, and decides it's time to cut the grass, make the city beautiful and start a new way of life. But after witnessing the brutality that encompasses this city, he realizes the only way to make a difference in this place is with a gun in his hand and two shells in its chamber.
A movie with the nuance you might expect from its title.
★★★ I only just saw this for the first time, and… Where do I start? This is one weird film and a perfect example of a movie which is so bad that actually it has become pretty good!
At least you gave it a three, but you do realize this movie is a part of the exploitation genre, right? I only ask, because you say: "If you want a film which has little in the way of story, almost no meaningful dialogue, relatively poor acting throughout, awful (and I mean really awful) visual effects, over the top blood & (I would say gore but I’m going to settle on) gloop and an absolute ton of senseless violence, then this is the film for you!" - That's the point. A lot of exploitation cinema is "so bad it's good," and while it's definitely not everybodies cup of tea, it's part of a tribute to a bygone era in filmmaking (which got a serious push in the late 2000s with the callback movie "Grindhouse").
Rutger Hauer stars as the Hobo with a Shotgun in an incredibly fun movie. Be sure to check out Capsule Computers review by following the link.
