Critics Consensus

It certainly isn't subtle -- or even terribly smart -- but as a gleefully gory homage to low-budget exploitation thrillers, Hobo with a Shotgun packs plenty of firepower.

3/5

Hobo With A Shotgun is as likely to please Quentin Tarantino fans as it is to offend everyone else, with scenes of elaborate decapitations and scantily clad women writhing in the ensuing blood spatter.

Gloriously over-the-top blood pudding about a homeless man (Hauer) who goes Dirty Harry on a dead-end town run by sadistic crims.

1/5

It stomps over any notions of good taste and credibility after roughly five minutes.

Rutger Hauer is the show, the whole show, and nothing but the show.

4/5

Even though the title gets the point across, Rutger Hauer's performance and Jason Eisener's direction still manage to deliver more than audiences bargained for.

1.5/4

From the acting to the production design, the heightened presentation will test viewers (and not in a good way), even those versed in exploitation films of this sort.
