Rebecca Onion Slate Jul 1
The apartment scene is a horror show, borderline snuff, a bloody home invasion mixed with a smug lecture on politics. Go to Full Review
Peter Bradshaw Guardian Jul 1
1/5
Citizen Vigilante perhaps wants to be Michael Winner’s Death Wish or Don Siegel’s Dirty Harry or even Scorsese’s Taxi Driver. But these were films with, variously, measures of passion, style, wit, purpose, vision and competent production values. Go to Full Review
Todd Gilchrist Variety Jun 19
The film is so astonishingly bad, it almost feels like writer-director-producer Uwe Boll is deliberately sabotaging his star Armie Hammer, whose intended comeback can only be harmed by this project. Go to Full Review
Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media Jul 17
1/5
Without the backing of a powerful and controversial media owner, this anti-migrant, pro-violence vigilante film would probably have disappeared without a trace. Go to Full Review
Armond White National Review Jul 15
Citizen Vigilante provokes discussion that leftist Hollywood media suppress. Go to Full Review
Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Jul 10
Yes, it’s embarrassing crap, and yes, the only thing worse than its fascist political orientation is the totally incompetent filmmaking. Go to Full Review

Giorgio S @RT51288676 2d Horrible movie on pretty much every aspect. Awfully written, directed, acted, scored and photographed. See more Danielle T @RT65902796 2d The film itself is average in terms of cinematic merit, but it still holds the cinephile’s interest. Armie Hammer gives a competent performance as a murderous psychopath who believes he can do a better job than the justice system at eliminating dangerous criminals. The problem with this film isn’t so much its merits (or lack thereof), but the fact that it promotes vigilantism, revenge, and justice in the hands of just anyone. I can’t imagine what would happen if everyone were running through the streets, a gun in hand, shooting anyone they didn’t like. It would be anarchy! This movie is dangerous. I understand why Germany banned it from theaters and streaming services. Except that you can find it everywhere right now, even in Germany. See more Anna-Lisa C @annalisachristiane 2d Great concept. More of this messaging needed in today’s world, the last 10 mins of the movie should’ve been the full movie though. See more Cheriel R @Cheriel27 3d The best movie of the year, perhaps the decade. It's true, it's raw, and its message hits to the core. See more Alex S @RT01776095 3d One of the most hateful and poorly made movies of all time See more lincolnM5 T @RT33837959 3d A film much needed in these times. See more Read all reviews
