Synopsis: A Hobo or homeless if you prefer (Hauer) arrives in a town ruled by Drake (Downey) and his sons, and where murder is commonplace. At the local pawn shop, will he buy the lawnmower he dreams of to start a business, or a shotgun to free the city from all the scum?
Review: What is good about this film and why did I want to watch it? The title, the movie poster and Rudger Hauer. The rest is more or less what I was expecting: simple story, cheap filmmaking, relatively poor acting (except for Hauer). What I didn't really expect is so much gore and violence!! Finally it is a good Z-movie, a bit more original and with higher image quality, although the colors in many scenes are over-saturated. It could have been a Troma production like Toxic Avenger or Terror Firmer, with as much excess but less talent. Still there are some nicely exagerated scenes (first massacre after he gets the weapon) and good lines ("He delivers justice one shell at a time!").
Rating: 4 /10
