Who with a What!!!

I must say that I am a fan of movies that have an in your face attitude when dealing with social and cultural temperament. Such as how Planet Terror deals with the ideas that we all live secret lives and are even effected by the secret lives of others. This is a reference to the exploitation films of the 70’s such as Coffy. Often times these films are presented in such a way that most don’t appreciate what is really being said. The latest diamond in the rough film that I am looking forward to viewing is no exception. Hobo With a Shotgun is a new movie written by newcomer Greg Guy, according to (IMDB, 2011). These types of movies seem to carry a tone of what some people feel society has become already. In this new film Rutger Hauer plays the vigilante Hobo that plans to clean up the streets with his shotgun. Early reviews call this movie bloody fun. However many have seen some of the scenes as too long, and never really developing the main character to the full his potential. The trailor below is from Filmschoolrejects



All in all I believe that people seeing this movie will not go to look for a message, or even expect to see a particularly well-written script. What most people will go to see is the gory action, and to release that urge to see things spiral into chaos. This film should be great fun for the moviegoer who does not expect too much, but can enjoy seeing a writer’s commentary on society, and also enjoys the occasional gory action film that seems to say nothing about anything in particular.
