Hobo with a Shotgun

In the opening scene, the film sets a tone reminiscent of the 60s and 70s, complete with a cheesy soundtrack. A man, played by Rutger, disembarks from a train and finds himself in a town spiraling into chaos, where crime runs rampant. He witnesses a shocking act as the mayor publicly beheads a man, forcing the townspeople to watch in horror. Despite the anarchy surrounding him, Rutger’s singular ambition is to own a lawnmower. However, his means to achieve this goal are as extreme as they are bizarre; he resorts to eating broken glass while a deranged cameraman captures it for a brutal spin on “bum fights.”

After enduring such trials, he finally accumulates the $50 required to purchase his coveted lawnmower. Yet, just as he arrives at the store, it is brazenly robbed. When he sees one of the criminals threatening a baby with a gun, Rutger’s moral compass ignites a fierce urge for justice. He seizes a shotgun conveniently placed next to the lawnmower and, in a moment of raw determination, dispatches the three assailants in a flurry of violence. After paying for the weapon, he embarks on a relentless rampage, targeting anyone he deems worthy of elimination—a list that turns out to be alarmingly long.

As Rutger racks up a body count of about ten victims, the mayor grows increasingly annoyed and begins to eliminate his own sons, who serve as his underlings. The tension escalates into a showdown between Rutger and the mayor, culminating in a swift and dramatic conclusion. The film takes bold risks and doesn’t hold back, weaving a narrative that’s both shocking and engrossing. Though I won’t spoil any further details, it’s clear that this story unfolds with unexpected twists and unflinching intensity.
