Plot Summary: A train pulls into its final station and a Hobo hops from a freight car. He has dreams of a fresh life in a new city, but finds himself trapped in an urban hell instead. A city where criminals rule the streets, landlords evict single mothers in the middle of the night, and where the city's crime boss, The Drake, reigns supreme with his sadistic, homeless-killing sons, Slick & Ivan. Through the chaos, the Hobo comes across a shop window displaying a second hand lawn mower and a shotgun, and decides it's time to cut the grass, make the city beautiful and start a new way of life. But after witnessing the brutality that encompasses this city, he realizes the only way to make a difference in this place is with a gun in his hand and two shells in its chamber.

Watched this on one of the movie channels the other night. Really strange and disturbing, but it was a fun view.

What A Terribly Low Budget, Awful, Gratuitous, Disgusting, Poorly Acted, Trainwreck Of A Movie!

But I Cant Stop Watching It! Plus, The Title Is Awesome!

When I play rock, paper, scissors, I keep a glass of water in my hand and when my opponent throws down I throw the water in his face and say "Water". Beats all three, scissors can't cut-it, paper dissolves and the rock sinks. Plus it usually surprises the hell out of them.

I didn't like it. Could have/should have been epic, but it was too cheesy and low budget even for a B movie (the effects reminded me of a B movie from the 80's like Toxic Avenger, which I liked a lot more). The bad guys were actually too over-the-top.

Disappointing.
