A Canceled Star Is Back. His Hateful New Movie Is One of the Most Disturbing Things I’ve Seen Lately.

The final scene of Uwe Boll’s controversial new film *Citizen Vigilante*, in which a self-appointed avenger played by Armie Hammer executes an entire family of Syrian migrants—father, mother, brother, sister—in their apartment, is going viral on X in all the wrong places. The movie follows Sanders (Hammer), an American veteran visiting an unnamed European city on business, who’s become a *Death Wish–*esque folk hero. He kills this family because the teenage son was part of a gang of migrant kids that raped a local girl and escaped punishment because the judge on their case was overly sympathetic to their situation. (Earlier in the film, Sanders murdered that judge, too.)

The apartment scene is a horror show, borderline snuff, a bloody home invasion mixed with a smug lecture on politics. The parents, Sanders tells them, deserve death because they supported their son; the sister deserves death because she posted on social media that the victim deserved it. In a monotone Hammer maintains throughout the movie, Sanders asks the father, “Are these the values you’re teaching your children?”

“I teach them values from the Quran and values from our family,” the father answers, to which Sanders responds: “Do you know what I think? I don’t think it was the good ones that got out of your country—I think it was the bad ones.” Cue the rain of silenced gunshots, and the rejoicing posts on X.

*”Citizen Vigilante* is one of the most disturbing movies I’ve seen in recent memory, for its reception as much as its content,” writes Slate’s Rebecca Onion.

Yo fuck that movie

Conservative frothing at the mouth over a Uwe Boll movie is peak satire. Most easily manipulated group of people in history.

Lol. Not that I was going to go see this movie. But an article that literally has no spoiler warnings and literally tells you the final scene of the movie in the first paragraph?

I can’t wait to not watch this. 

I’m sure the movie is super terrible, but this headline as “disturbing” is probably giving the movie too much credit.

Crap like this wants to pretend it’s triggering or whatever. Ideally, this racist slop should be mocked and ignored. Showing that you’re offended is what they want

The trailer jumped into my feed, moved on in seconds of determining its toned. I’m old enough that I found Dirty Harry and death wish disturbing. More disturbing: landman, Yellowstone et al.

Uwe Boll makes garbage so naturally it stars a cannibal

I don’t blame Hammer. He very much needs the money. The rot is in the people who paid for this movie to be made and the right wing basement dwellers that get off on cruelty and violence.

I mean, fuck Hammer too. But someone offers him a role with a paycheck, he’s taking it.

Uwe Boll failed by leaving lowtax alive in the ring. That was his one chance to do something good.

Why do we give trolls like Boll attention; isn’t that exactly what we’re told not to do?

sounds like porn for aggrieved mediocre white men.
