'Hobo with a Shotgun': Vagrant vigilante cleans up a town

Hobo With a Shotgun is neo-exploitation fare whose title says it all. Born out of a grind-house trailer contest cosponsored by Robert Rodriguez, this grainy, grungy replication of the blood-splattered B's of the '60s and '70s stars Rutger Hauer as a homeless guy who hops off a freight car and decides to clean the hellish place up.
