High impact violence, blood and gore
| Director: | Jason Eisener |
| Actors: | Rutger Hauer, Gregory Smith, Jeremy Akerman, Brian Jamieson |
A train pulls into the station - it's the end of the line. A Hobo (Rutger Hauer Blade Runner Sin City Batman Begins) jumps from a freight car hoping for a fresh start in a new city. Instead he finds himself trapped in an urban hell. This is a world where criminals rule the streets and Drake the city's crime boss reigns supreme alongside his sadistic murderous sons Slick & Ivan. Amidst the chaos the Hobo comes across a pawn shop window displaying a second hand lawn mower. He dreams of making the city a beautiful place and starting a new life for himself. But as the brutality continues to rage around him he notices a shotgun hanging above the lawn mower... Quickly he realizes the only way to make a difference in this town is with that gun in his hand and two shells in its chamber.

Not one of those video-nasty homage’s.... an absolutely awesome, cheap, grotty, nasty piece of rubbish. Terribly acted (except for Rutger Hauer), mentally shot and ludicrously scripted and all the more enjoyable for all of it. I expected rubbish and got it in spades. So good.... succeeds on all levels that it aims to. Awesome.

A film that often borders on the offensive. A vigilante fiick that works as a homage to the exploitation films that were churned out by Cannon/Troma and many others during the 80's.

This was just plain old rubbish. Sorry Rutger I know your agent advised against doing this movie and you should have taken his advice.

Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen... I don't think I made it past the first 10 minutes. Don't waste your time on this one.

Poor old Rutger, the things we do for a buck.
Not sure if this was supposed to be slighly funny but it was bloody crap ( an I mean 'bloody')
I still like Rutger though.

Its creators certainly knew how to make a perfectly disgusting movie. Fast paced if not nausiating action. I give it 3 out of 5
