Boll has been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2017\/03\/game-over-uwe-boll-worst-director\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dubbed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the \u201cworld\u2019s worst director&#8221; in the past thanks to his critically panned films including House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, and In the Name of the King.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for his upcoming thriller, he reached out to Armie Hammer and offered him his first major movie role since the actor became embroiled in scandal in 2021, facing multiple sexual abuse allegations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Releasing on June 19th, Citizen Vigilante stars Hammer as Sanders, a man who takes the law into his own hands after becoming increasingly frustrated by crime and social decline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CITIZEN VIGILANTE Official Trailer (2026) Armie Hammer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FHr6YE98SPo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The film has drawn criticism already, with one early review from Jeffrey Wells at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywood-elsewhere.com\/280801-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hollywood Elsewhere<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> saying it\u2019s driven by &#8220;furious anti-immigration emotions\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason the outlet covered it is because Boll reached out and suggested doing a podcast on the film. But after watching it, Wells sent a frank response to the filmmaker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He wrote, \u201cThe film is so blunt and crude and more or less brimming with hate against \u2018the immigrant other\u2019, and lacking in setting up a believable context and a social realism backdrop\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt basically struck me as an anti-immigrant, anti-insect, kill-em-all riff on Michael Winner\u2019s original Death Wish.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, reports have emerged that Citizen Vigilante has been denied an age certification in Germany, effectively banning it from being distributed and screened in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Go check who is directing this and come back <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0v5K58aJu0\">https:\/\/t.co\/0v5K58aJu0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; august (@regularaugust) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/regularaugust\/status\/2067036639461876063?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 17, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was something Boll addressed in his response to Wells, where he said he makes \u201cpolitical movies that hurt because they put a finger in the wound\u201d before referencing crime statistics and arguing that migrant crime is a legitimate subject for fiction films.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He claimed Citizen Vigilante is one of the only European films willing to tackle the issue and insisted critics were ignoring what he described as reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boll then made his most controversial remark, writing: &#8220;If I had made a film about five neo-Nazis raping a migrant girl it would [do quite well] in Germany. But now my movie is banned instead because I made a movie about the reality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The filmmaker went on to accuse what he called the \u201cwoke left in Europe\u201d of ignoring facts surrounding immigration and Islam, while making a number of wider political claims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another controversial comment from Boll is that if Germany doesn\u2019t \u201creduce Islamic migrants\u2026 they will take over in around 30 years and then will start killing everybody who is not a convert to Islam.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, he&#8217;s not even trying to hide his intentions behind the film. His comments are likely to add further controversy to what was already attracting attention because of Hammer&#8217;s involvement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The actor has largely remained absent from Hollywood productions since 2021, when messages allegedly sent by Hammer were leaked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the messages, which were presented in the 2022 docu-series House of Hammer, were references to violent sexual and cannibalistic fantasies, allegations that quickly dominated headlines and led to him losing projects and representation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5359\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5359\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5359\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-11.jpg\" alt=\"Armie Hammer in Call Me By Your Name\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-11.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-11-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-11-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Sony Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In March 2021, a woman who Hammer had a four-year affair with while still married to now-ex Elizabeth Chambers came forward and accused the actor of rape \u201cand other acts of violence\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hammer has consistently denied engaging in any criminal conduct, and no criminal charges were filed against him following an investigation by the LAPD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent interview with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/general-news\/armie-hammer-exclusive-interview-career-scandal-1236621644\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Hammer revealed that Citizen Vigilante was the first acting offer he had received in five years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was Boll who contacted him about the opportunity, with Hammer admitting: &#8220;I&#8217;m pretty sure I cried\u2026 I would have done a f**king cat food commercial. I just wanted to work again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hammer also revealed that he was initially shocked by Boll&#8217;s unconventional filmmaking approach.
