Elon Musk shares the full, controversial film “Citizen Vigilante” on X for roughly 48 hours, drawing renewed attention to the project starring Armie Hammer and directed by Uwe Boll. Multiple outlets report that Musk posted or linked the film to his account, where it became available for free viewing for a limited period before being taken down. The movie, set in Croatia, follows a businessman who turns into a vigilante. It has faced controversy internationally: in Germany, the film was banned for its graphic portrayal of immigrants, a point that Boll disputes, describing it as a political thriller intended to provoke public debate. The uploads also trigger broader discussion online and lead to the film’s increased visibility on other platforms. The coverage also notes that Hammer’s appearance marks a comeback following earlier industry fallout tied to allegations of sexual misconduct in 2021, which he denies. Writer-director Uwe Boll says a sequel is planned, with reporting indicating it would arrive next year, keeping the franchise and the controversy in the public spotlight.
