Intelligent Grindhouse is Not an Oxymoron: Review of Hobo with a Shotgun
About 4 years ago, grindhouse, or exploitation cinema, was reborn with the release of the double-feature Planet Terror and Deathproof.. It was a gamble to bring the campy genre with usually amateurish actors back to the big-screen with a big budget, veteran actors, and high expectations. Hobo with a Shotgun has elements of this camp style to gore, but not so much that you fall into fits of giggling every 10 minutes. Whether it was the directing of Jason Eisener, the subtle acting of Rutger Hauer as the hobo, or the cinematography of the many landscape shots, this movie forces you to take it seriously…for the most part.
