‘Citizen Vigilante’ Review: Uwe Boll Crafts An “Incredibly Interesting” Armie Hammer Action Film

Now available on Digital, Citizen Vigilante is an action thriller headlined by Armie Hammer and directed by Uwe Boll. Described by the director as “an action film inspired by real events,” the film was met with praise by CinemAddicts co-host Eric Holmes. In his review, Eric talks about why the movie is an “incredibly interesting” experience even though he does not fully agree with some of the narrative’s point-of-view. Check out Eric’s full review below and find out a bit more on Citizen Vigilante!

Citizen Vigilante centers on Sanders (Armie Hammer), a wealthy American businessman who is living in Zagreb. A loner with a mission, Sanders becomes an underground vigilante who takes on rapists, criminals and corrupt judges to deliver his version of justice and retribution.

“First of all, the movie is extremely angry,” said Holmes. “Uwe Boll saw something in the news that triggered him and got him real angry. It inspired him to write this. As much crap as Uwe Boll gets for being the worst filmmaker ever because (movie fans) didn’t like House of the Dead or whatever – whenever Uwe is inspired, you get something like Postal. Or you get something like First Shift or Citizen Vigilante. This is him expressing himself, and I think there something very interesting there.”

To date, Citizen Vigilante has a 96% score (from moviegoers) on Rotten Tomatoes. Since there are only three reviews from critics, there are no scores on the media side as of yet!

“It’s incredibly interesting,” added Holmes. “And if you’re there for the ride and you’re curious, I would definitely check it out.”
