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 (Rutger Hauer) 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. —Greg Guy

Quotes
Hobo: [to a group of newborn babies] A long time ago I was one of you. You're all brand new and perfect. No mistakes, no regrets. People look at you and think of how wonderful your future will be. They want you to be something special... like a... a doctor or a lawyer. I hate to tell you this, but if you grow up here, you're more likely to wind up selling your bodies on the streets, or shooting dope from dirty needles in a bus stop. And if you're successful, you'll make money selling junk to crackheads. And you won't think twice about killing someone's wife, because you won't even know what was wrong in the first place. Or, maybe... you'll end up like me - a hobo with a shotgun! I hope you can do better. You are the future.

8/10

Highly entertaining ultra violence

Rutger Hauer, a great actor known for the likes of Blade Runner, The Hitcher, Split Second, etc, sadly died yesterday so as a mark of respect I revisited Hobo. And I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Filmed in glorious Technicolor this is a tremendous homage to violent movies of the late 1970's/80's. At just over 80 minutes the action never lets up, it may well prove too much for viewers who cannot stomach much violence, and it is very graphic too. Gore lovers will not be disappointed. Rutger is great but Molly Dunsworth delivers a good performance as a hooker that you don't want to mess with. Fantastic movie that deserves a higher average score than its current 6/10
