I only watched this movie after I heard that it was effectively "banned" by Germany. I am really glad I spent the time and money to see such a great film. It's an extremely effective and brutal reminder that we need to be aware of what our leaders and governments are importing to our shores. Dangerous people are being favoured over both our indigenous and European populations. We're tired of being ignored and it's time we start taking action.
Citizen Vigilante is easily one of Uwe Boll's strongest and most thought-provoking films. Powered by a solid performance from Armie Hammer, it follows an American expat who embarks on a violent crusade against criminals. Rather than offering easy answers, the film makes you question what happens when public faith in legal institutions completely collapses. The stylish visuals, dark humor, and willingness to tackle difficult themes keep it engaging, even if the graphic violence and political commentary won't be for everyone. Recommended for fans of 1970s vigilante cinema.
I started watching this without realizing it's an Uwe Boll film until opening credits began to roll. For better or worse, I've watched a bunch of Uwe Boll movies over the years and they were all extremely bad, but - this is a new low.
Garbage hate-ad made by a thin skinned evil manbaby Uwe Boll, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole movie was financed by extreme right wing organization/s or it's a psyop sponsored by some oppressive dicatorship, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he financed it himself.
Plot is basically this - rich american landlord (ex military) with daddy issues that constantly talks like edgy loser reddit mod, comes to some european country (it was shot in Croatia if I clocked it correctly) and just goes on to murder bunch of people because they're migrants or migrant loving lefties, under the cover of "_them_" being evil - he's portrayed to be a "hero of the people" in this movie. Migrants are portrayed as bunch of criminals that slash women's throats in broad daylight, gangs that go on raping sprees, etc. It's all sprinkled with stupid news reports that call for race war and hate, where Uwe Boll is the producer behind the scenes. Also, there's an awful sex scene where Armie has sex with a prostitute in a building he rents to her pimp.
Whole script reads like it was either written by an angry incel or slopped together with AI, a hate, xenopobic filled manifesto by Uwe Boll, voiced through Armie Hammer.
Editing is just atrocious, music is a collection of trash elevator tunes. Acting is abominable.
I mean, it's just ridiculous. I mean, it would be ridiculous if it wasn't so directly vile and evil, dehumanizing pile of crap. **There is nothing tongue in cheek about this movie**.
Unbeliveably, he's been making "_films_" for decades now an still has no talent or any skill to make a movie look good, to be shoot well, lighted well, scripted well, edited well. It's all a incompetent delusion from a pathetic little weak man with no value or talent trying to say something about society and the only thing he can convey is that he knows nothing about society or anyting.
Everyone in this should be ashamed, Armie Hammer managed to get himself unemployable for the second time, hopefully for good this time. Dude was up to play Batman at some point and he ended up like this. He behaves like a complete psychopath, a mouth piece for director/screenwriter Uwe Boll's hate and evil.
And I want to make something really clear - Boll is not some counterculture artist or an activist, "creating shock value to point something important" or to make a good point, this is all a weak grift he's been grinding on for decades, this is what he does, this is how he makes a living. Before AI, this was THE slop.
In the end - he can make whatever movie he wants and you should not ban them, it doesn't mean you have to watch it. If I knew people that were involved in this, I would actively tell them to never contact me again and block them. What a waste of time.
The fact that this movie was banned in various western countries means it touches a nerve with the people in power. When you get a lot of flack, it usually means you're over the target. And boy, is this movie over the target. It reminds me of the Charles Bronson Death Wish movies, but adds to it one of the most divisive yet important problem of the past decade(s) in western countries: uncontrolled migration and the rise of crime it brings with it. This movie in a sense feels good because it gives control back to the native Europeans who have been betrayed by their own politicians, murdered, raped and forced to be kept silent under the guise of compassion and descency. If you are atuned to the cultural problems tearing down Europe today and you have a revenge itch to scratch, this is the movie for you!
