Hobo with a Shotgun Reviews
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A merrily blood-soaked homage to the vigilante action movies of the 1970s and early 1980s, "Hobo'' is a good idea in theory that's brought down by the banality of its practice.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
It's all in good fun and sometimes a little clever; "Hobo" shoots low and scores an explosive spray of guts, if not glory.
Washington Post
Sean O'Connell
"Hobo" breathes new life into the demented realm of grindhouse cinema - a world that had grown pretty stale to this point.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Even connoisseurs of the genre (and I confess, I'm not one) will find the cheesy chopfests and gratuitous gore less than exciting as one urban prosthetics-strewn bloodbath begets the next.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Will leave most viewers bored and uneasy, especially in scenes like the burning alive of a busful of young children.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
This movie is depraved just for the sake of being depraved, joyously celebrating its overt nihilism because it felt like joyously celebrating overt nihilism.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
It's so far over-the-top that it makes Machete look believable, but that's why it's effective. Unlike so many movies you will see this season, Hobo With a Shotgun delivers.
Movies.com
Alonso Duralde
What should have been a rousing shoot-em-up gets tedious rather quickly, with the overacting villains and their over-the-top mayhem feeling very same-y after the first few scenes.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Gore hounds will appreciate Hobo with a Shotgun, but it is so wan that even squeamish viewers will shrug it off with a yawn.
Film.com
William Goss
What really puts this over-the-top extravaganza over the top is Hauer's ferocious and oddly sincere performance.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
What's not to like?
NPR
Scott Tobias
The closest thing the film gets to a message? "When life gives you razor blades, you make a baseball bat covered in razor blades." Sounds like a quote for a Successories poster in hell.
AV Club
Noel Murray
It's a hyper-violent, self-conscious throwback, with the sickly plastic aroma of a tape that's been gathering dust in the corner of a video store since 1984.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Ultimately, it's still less misanthropically hypnotic than, say, Roberta Findlay's 1985 flashback, Tenement.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Japan's Takashi Miike has the formula down pat, but Eisener has no idea how to give violence a touch of class.
Village Voice
Mark Holcomb
The setup could also be read as an allegory of/justification for Dubya's invasion of Iraq (think about it), but that presumes more of an engagement with the non-cinematic world than Hobo ever really displays.
Movieline
Jen Yamato
It may sound silly, but watch Hauer go from shuffling, hesitant outsider on the fringe to vigilante hero raining down justice in the streets with his 12-gauge and you see one of the year's best, most heartbreaking and unhinged performances thus far.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
A hobo hops off a freight train in a nameless North American Gomorrah run by a sadistic crime king. Then said hobo cleans up the place by shooting buckets full of guts.
Observer
Rex Reed
Quite the most appalling piece of junk I have seen lately, Hobo With a Shotgun just lies there like an autopsy.
