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!

Whilst by no means a great film, "Citizen Vigilante's" message could arguably be said to be overdue. In spite of Western globalist governments'authoritarian refusal to accept there is a problem with their open-door immigration policies and two-tier justice systems, there's also a growing refusal amongst native populations in Europe and elsewhere to accept the claim that their societies are naturally "diverse" and "monoculturalism" a lie.

This film, which I glanced at, to be honest, is something of an action potboiler with plot holes aplenty. That said, it does still raise wholly valid points about disproportionate imported crime and the failure of justice systems to hold the perpetrators to account. I'm not surprised to hear it's been banned in Germany. I'll wager it will probably be banned elsewhere too. The UK is, I'm sure, a strong contender there, as is Australia.

It does make me thankful I live in a country where this sort of crime is mostly but not entirely unheard of. Its also a warning of what can happen if we elect the wrong people to political office.

In summary, whilst it's hardly a standout action flick "Citizen Vigilante" does possess a certain courage in making a no nonsense film that faces legitimate concerns with imported crime and cultural division head on.

Huge respect to Uwe Boll, because to make such a movie needs courage. Leftists hate this movie and they don't want you to watch it, because it reflects the harsh reality & the consequences of their disastrous policies they support & push. The emotional breakdown from critics over Citizen Vigilante proves exactly why this movie is a masterpiece of reality. Leftists and progressive reviewers hate this film because it completely shatters their sanitized, politically correct echo chamber and forces them to confront the uncomfortable truths they desperately try to ignore. Instead of feeding the audience mainstream propaganda, Uwe Boll delivers an uncompromising, raw look at the breakdown of law, order, and cultural cohesion in Europe. Armie Hammer’s intense performance perfectly captures the frustration of a no-nonsense, ex-military protagonist pushed to the edge by a broken system that coddles criminals. Leftist critics label this gritty realism as a "psyop" or "hate-manifesto" simply because they are terrified of a film that rejects tongue-in-cheek irony and aligns with traditionalist, right-wing realities. It doesn't rely on slick Hollywood budgets or elite approval; its unvarnished atmosphere reflects real-world headlines that traditional studios are too cowardly to touch. Ultimately, the furious reaction to the movie is the greatest proof of its success—it is an authentic, powerful piece of counterculture art that tells the truth and leaves the establishment completely rattled. For an independent filmmaker like Uwe Boll, getting that kind of furious reaction from the establishment is usually a badge of honor. It proves the movie didn't hold back and managed to completely disrupt their comfortable echo chamber. It's a clear sign the film struck a major nerve by completely rejecting their worldview.

**9 flaws that deduct stars from the movie Citizen Vigilante (2026) to deserve a 10/100 rating**: -

1. Stereotyping the image of immigrants through a screenplay based on misinformation.

2. Collective defamation of Muslims through a screenplay based on malicious rumors.

3. Spreading Islamophobia through a screenplay based on the fabrication of lies.

4. Glorifying the extremist ideology of "taking the law into one's own hands".

5. Promoting the bypassing of state institutions and violating the legal path under the pretext of "the collapse of law and order" through actions that encourage criminal chaos.

6. Creating an imaginary enemy in order to legitimize violence.

7. Normalizing hate crimes against immigrants.

8. Justifying terrorism against immigrants through the employment of the "White Savior Complex" built on the idea of the supremacy of the Aryan race (Anglo-Saxon/White) based on Nazi racism.

9. Demonizing the other party and stripping them of their humanity through "Structural Projection" to distance suspicions from itself.

As almost all Uwe Boll movies this one is a B movie at best. It has a bad script full of holes, stiff dialogues, amateur actors, weird scenes and bland camera work. Armie Hammer, the protagonist, is one of the very few professional actors here and does a fine job - everyone else they probably picked up from the street.

But this movie is not a 1/10. These ratings are from hysterical leftist who can't stand the political message. If it were about killing neonazis, they would give it 5/10 and write "unpolished but important because it shows the dangers we face as a society".

I think this movie is a 4/10: way below average. You can watch it as "revenge porn", but its neither a masterpiece, nor absolute trash.

by Zeus

1/10 stars review ratings. Its a Drop.
B‑movie garbage” with amateur acting, cheap effects, and incoherent storytelling. You can always feel the movie is cheap on each minutes that pass.

- targeting migrants as villains.

- poor editing, acting, and special effects.

There are glimpses here of what could have been a good vigilante movie with some interesting social commentary about Europe’s inability to deal with crime linked to migration. Instead, the film spends too much time on other things. Uwe Boll doesn’t seem to have any clear message or ideology. He mostly just seems to want to tap into Europeans’ (not entirely unjustified) frustration and anger.

The idea of a regular ”citizen vigilante” taking matters into his own hands to save his country (the film never even makes it clear which European country it’s supposed to be) also falls flat when the main character turns out to be an American real estate millionaire who, ironically, seems to be living in the country illegally himself. Vigilante movies usually work best when the main character has a personal reason for doing what they do, like Charles Bronson’s character in the Death Wish movies. Here, the protagonist seems more driven by some sort of savior complex, which makes him hard to relate to or care much about.

I wasn’t expecting much from this movie, but I was still disappointed by how it wasted what could have been a really good premise. How much you enjoy this movie will partly depend on your political views. Some people will see it as xenophobic, islamophobic, and glorifying violence and vigilantism. Others will find it refreshingly outspoken. Either way, though, it has some pretty major flaws in both its story and execution.
