‘Citizen Vigilante’ Review: Uwe Boll Does Armie Hammer No Favors With This Morally Bankrupt Thriller
Playing an American abroad determined to eradicate criminal migrants in Europe, the star does nothing here to remedy his fall from grace.
After decades of cinema chronicling men taking the law into their own hands when “the system” fails them, a thoughtful reckoning is warranted — if not necessary — about the costs, and complex morality, of vigilantism. A handful of films have tried, but when one of the world’s most popular comic book characters is Batman, critiquing extrajudicial “heroism” feels like tilting at windmills. Yet Uwe Boll’s “Citizen Vigilante,” whose original title somewhat ironically was “The Dark Knight,” manages to be so indulgent and incurious a portrait of a man exacting vengeance that calling it wish-fulfillment feels irresponsible.

Banned, R-Rated Thriller From Legendary Director Now Streaming For Free On Social Media
Nobody has ever accused Uwe Boll of being Steven Spielberg or Martin Scorsese. Nonetheless, he’s a legendary director for those of us who love a certain kind of film: action schlock. He is responsible for bringing us absolutely bonkers video game adaptations like House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, and Postal. Even when he’s not adapting games, his movies are reliably entertaining…the kind of stuff made for watching with a best friend and a six-pack. Unfortunately, the director flew a little too close to the sun with his latest film, Citizen Vigilante.
This movie is designed as a comeback for the canceled celeb Armie Hammer. He plays an American living in Europe whose wife is fatally stabbed by an immigrant. His solution? To kill as many immigrants as possible, all of whom are portrayed as cartoonishly evil. It’s basically like what would happen if Death Wish were made by your obscenely racist, ex-pat grandfather. Accordingly, the movie got banned in Germany, so Boll decided to take matters into his own hands. Specifically, he released the entire film on X, where you can watch it right now before it gets taken down.
