Uwe Boll to Direct 'Citizen Vigilante' Starring Armie Hammer

moviesJun 29, 2026492,618

Uwe Boll announced on social media that he is directing a new Citizen Vigilante project, described in the announcement as Citizen Vigilante 2. The original Citizen Vigilante starred Armie Hammer and drew heavy criticism for a plot in which the protagonist murders Muslims and immigrants; critics and commentators called the film racist and hate propaganda. Elon Musk posted the original film in full and, after that promotion, the film reached the top spot on a streaming storefront; Germany banned the film citing fears it would incite violence. Reviews and social commentary criticized the movie’s quality and its political message, with outlets such as National Review condemning it. Boll’s confirmation of a sequel revives the controversy around a film already subject to a national ban and high-profile amplification, ensuring continued public scrutiny as the project moves forward.

This is a scene from "Citizen Vigilante," the film Elon Musk posted in full on his account. The main character goes around murdering Muslims and immigrants and collectively blaming them for crime.

The craziest thing about this is that the supposed justification was that the men here raped a white woman. Meanwhile, the star of the film, Armie Hammer, was credibly accused of rape by his ex girlfriend, a white woman. The irony here is lost on the right.

You have to wonder at what point does this stuff cross the line into legally actionable threats

La razón por la que mata a la hija, en contexto, es porque hizo un post diciendo que la chica violada "lo merecía por ir vestida así". Así que los conservadores piensan que mereces morir si dices eso en internet. O sea que podemos matar a gente por no ser feminista. LE WOKISME.

Putting aside the obvious fact that it's xenophobic agitprop, *this* being the film's idea of an action scene proves it can't even be entertaining. Like the Turner Diaries or Camp Of The Saints, the whole thing sounds like a really dull polemic only racist assholes would enjoy purely out of spite.

Isso parece uma paródia de TikTok de como seria um filme de ação de incel, mas é um filme de verdade que os homens mais ricos do mundo estão tentando emplacar.

I'm worried some far-right incel with violent tendencies is gonna watch this movie and be inspired to commit a mass shooting

I thought Armie Hammer was "cancelled" but I guess this makes sense as his comeback.

When will it be enough for those still prioritizing their own material gains or comfort or way of life over doing something to stop the world’s richest mass-murdering-democracy-killing NAZI they continue to empower and ignore. Never, for many, apparently. But no one will escape their decision.

i guess birth of a nation wasn't violent enough

I know I've harped on this before, but a weirdly literal example of conservatives self-identifying as the bad guy. No attempt here is made to make this look like anything other than murdering a bunch of innocent people, because Elon Musk wants his stans to murder a bunch of innocent people.

The anti-immigrant, Islamophobic hate film CITIZEN VIGILANTE is #1 on Amazon after the world's richest racist, Elon Musk, spent the weekend using his captured platform, Twitter, to promote it. The reason Germany banned it is because they fear, rightfully so, it will incite hate crimes and violence.

as someone who actually likes the revenge vigilante genre i am somewhat interested to watch a movie that is so clumsy that it makes bare the fascist impulses behind the fantasy

everything I have seen about this film makes it look like the sort of thing that turns up as a fake TV show on 30 Rock

In Magnum Force, this is actually the exact thing Harry Callahan predicted that the SFPD death squad would do once they ran out of big time criminals

This is how I found out he is still out there doing tax fraud

imo what presents as ‘disagreement’ on the right is usually just part of the overall permission structure: performing ‘revulsion’ is centrally delegated to certain writers so that “conservatives” can maintain a clean conscience while they go on supporting the nazis in every practically important way

The craziest part of this movie is that the Armie Hammer character kills the entire Muslim family of an immigrant that assaulted a woman. Even by the film's own logic this family did nothing wrong but be related to the assailant, but he massacres them anyway.

oh no, the Chud Review hates the chud movie Armie is just going to have to dry his tears of rejection with thousand-dollar bills I guess

Notably not an Armond White review

Between this movie, the Melania "documentary" and Andy Serkis' missed-the-point "Animal Farm" it's a real strong year for politically-themed movie dreck.
