Action thriller “Citizen Vigilante,” directed by Uwe Boll and starring Armie Hammer, is reportedly banned in Germany, according to Boll. Boll says German authorities refused to allow the film to be shown due to concerns about “inciting violence against migrants” and the film’s extreme content. Both outlets describe the movie as an updated take on the style of “Death Wish,” centered on vigilantism and violent action.
U.S. release plans are also part of the discussion. One report says the film is scheduled to arrive in the United States on Friday through Quiver.
Boll also addresses controversy around his political stance. Kotaku and the other report state that Boll denies being a Nazi, framing the denial as a response to allegations and public criticism connected to the film’s message and the circumstances of its restriction in Germany. The reports do not add detail from German officials beyond Boll’s account. Overall, the coverage centers on the German ban claim, the film’s violent and anti-migrant allegations, and Boll’s denial of extremist ideology.
