Debra Wilson Flash

Truth in advertising

Back in the ’80s, Hauer was an exotic star, a Dutchman with roles in films like Blade Runner and The Hitcher. His star has faded, but he’s great here, rolling off a train into a nameless town run by crime boss Drake (Brian Downey) and his two sociopathic sons, Slick (Gregory Smith) and Ivan (Nick Bateman). These three do unspeakable things to anyone who gets in their way—and plenty of people who don’t— and it isn’t long before the Hobo has traded in his dream of opening a lawn-mowing business for a pump-action shotgun, in hopes of shooting himself some justice and protecting Abby (Molly Dunsowth), the hooker with a heart of gold who saved his life.

The violence and gore are extreme, but it never takes itself too seriously (that said, I still could have done without the burning school bus full of children), even as it spatters everyone with blood, brains, intestines and general viscera.

Hobo with a Shotgun delivers on its title, and if that appeals to you, you’ll have two chances to see it on the big screen. Of course, you may be inclined to tip a couple back before you see it. Just don’t go crazy—the movie is really bloody; you don’t want your cocktails to revisit you before it’s through.

"The first car that I drove was probably... my mother had a 240-D, green Mercedes and then the first car I owned was a Chevrolet Blazer," the 42-year-old told OnTheRedCarpet.com at the film's recent Los Angeles premiere. "A blue Tahoe. My car now is silver, or metallic gray."

Wilson has given his distinctive voice to several characters through the years, including "Marmaduke" and Coach Skip in the Wes Anderson flick "The Fantastic Mr. Fox." In "Cars 2," the actor gets under the hood of a red race car named Lightning McQueen, reprising his role from Disney-Pixar's hit 2006 animated movie.

"I think [the color of your car] says everything," Wilson told OnTheRedCarpet.com. "I don't even know why people take those Rorschach tests - just let someone see the color of your car and that says it all."

"Cars 2" follows Lightning McQueen and his buddy Mater head, played by Larry the Cable Guy, as they go overseas to compete in the World Grand Prix race. But trouble finds the cars when Mater gets caught up in some international espionage.

Wilson recently starred opposite Rachel McAdams and her boyfriend Michael Sheen in Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris." Wilson told OnTheRedCarpet.com that he could see himself living in Paris, where the film was shot.

The actor is also known for his roles in "Wedding Crashers," "Zoolander" and Wes Anderson films such as "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Rushmore," both of which he co-wrote. In January, he welcomed a son with girlfriend Jade Duell .
