Hobo with a Shotgun (2011) is staring with Rutger Hauer, Molly Dunsworth, Gregory Smith, Robb Wells, Brian Downey, a compelling, flawed story of true crime and obsession - and its flaws are part of what make it so intriguing. the movie can be very difficult to watch; it's haunting and incredibly sad.
