Germany’s film ratings board, the FSK, has refused to grant Citizen Vigilanteany age classification — not an 18+ rating, not even a “No Youth Clearance” designation — effectively banning it from distribution in the country. Boll has pushed back publicly, arguing the board is using youth protection as a pretext to suppress a film that addresses migration-linked crime in Europe. The first review of the film, by Hollywood Elsewhere’s Jeffrey Wells, describes it as a “furious anti-immigration” parable — essentially a Death Wish riff in which Hammer’s character becomes a social media folk hero for his vigilante response to street crime.

      Ofc its an Uwe Boll movie. He genuinely might be the worst director of all time and he’s notoriously a racist cunt. Fuck Armie Hammer too.

      Wasn’t Hammer just talking about forgiveness and second chances and now he’s making movies racially attacking vulnerable people. Fuck right off.

      I see he’s following the alt-right grifting pipeline for failed actors

    3. I would have definitely assumed a film with that synopsis must be satire.

      That’s fucked. I guess with is reputation tanked, Hammer is going full mask off with his projects.

      Uwe Bol (the writer/director/producer)’s Wiki: “His movies *House of the Dead* (2003), *Alone in the Dark* and *BloodRayne* (both 2005) are considered three of the worst films ever made.”

      Guess he’s about to add a fourth to that

      e: I am really, really sick of seeing rightwing, woman-hating creeps run to sexual assault and women-in-dangerous-(sex)work-situations as plot points to make their “heroes” heroic. Armie Hammer wouldn’t save anyone from anything– he would join in the assault

      It’s like they had a checklist of the most vile things people say and do and they hit every single one.

      Honestly, impressed by the dedicated hatred.

      Effie, one of his many victims, said the following in her testimony: “Armie Hammer raped me for over four hours in Los Angeles, during which he repeatedly slapped my head against a wall, bruising my face. During those four hours, I tried to get away and he wouldn’t let me. I thought that he was going to kill me. He then left with no concern for my wellbeing. I was completely in shock and I couldn’t believe that someone I loved did that to me.” She was 20 at the time of the assault.

    7. Isn’t this the dude who told a woman he wanted to eat her flesh or something?

    8. The director Boll stated the movie was suppressed to cover up immigrate relates crimes. No, im not making this up. This is the time we’re living in. Blatant racism and supporting predators is obviously still completely normal. I’m not even sure if the ban us not just due to a fear of legal issues rather than a sign of protest against the disgusting premises of the movie.

      Sincerely

      Skeletor

      I can’t believe this is a real film. I mean, I can, but my rational mind cannot understand its existence

    10. Good on Germany for basically banning this garbage. Boll is a piece of trash and of course he wants to act like the victim, while pushing out anti-immigrant bile like this and having no concern that this type of gross rhetoric is what lead to Nazism and WWII in the country. Germany rightfully so wants to distance itself from crap like that.

      And fuck Hammer for staring in this. There’s no way that trust-fund sex creep should be so hard up for money that he’d have to be involved in this crap.

      Isn’t it wild that when people are outed for sex crimes they instantly become right wing psychos

    12. Financial_Class_5038 on

      thank you OP for including that he was accused of sexual assault in the title! i hate how his cancellation has been memed so much that so many people seem to think he was cancelled for having a cannibalism kink, when that barely scratches the surface of the heinous shit he has allegedly done

    13. Aggravating-Space-20 on

      He knows that is the only kind of audience he will be welcomed by. Disgusting

    14. Green_Money_7688 on

      isn’t Armie Hammer a cannibal, I remember years ago that coming out, how did he get people to forget that

    15. Maleficent_Twist_778 on

      They dug Armie Hammer out of his cancelled grave? He’s over. I don’t even wanna see his face

    16. AgitatedSpirit_ on

      >American in Europe
      >blames migrants

      …the call is coming from within the house, mate

    17. Adventurous-Limit627 on

      Unfortunately, Wells is likely correct that Boll will use Germany’s ban as a marketing tool. This film is merely a racist, violent fantasy intended to resonate with disgusting racists.

      Naturally, the character is a tall, physically fit wealthy man. How many racists fulfill all of those criteria? Certainly, a great deal have money but they’re usually far from what society deems to be aspirational. For every one who has the money and “looks”, there are many more who look like Uwe Boll.

    18. Why does it have to be an American? Europe has enough of its own racists.

      E for clarity: Hammer can fuck off, btw. Making that clear. Isn’t he an abuser and rapist?

    19. Watch MAGA eat this shit up, and a movie from one of the shittiest and dumbest directors of all time becomes widely popular, because of a bunch of fuckin weirdo morons who fantasize about these scenarios daily
