‘Citizen Vigilante’ Review

‘Citizen Vigilante’ Review. By John Nolte at Breitbart.

The left has their pro-terrorist One Battle After Another, an overlong, mediocre, $100 million studio movie told by a major director (Paul Thomas Anderson) using one of the world’s biggest movie stars (Leonardo DiCaprio). The result? It flopped at the box office and was still predictably showered with unearned critical praise and major Oscar wins.

Basically, One Battle After Another is angry that America enforces the law by deporting illegal immigrants and demands violence against the government to make it stop.

Today we have a rebuttal, and a pretty effective one… Best of all, it’s deliciously subversive.

Citizen Vigilante is a briskly-paced (at 89 minutes) low-budget exploitation movie told by a director who was long ago written off as a joke (Uwe Boll), using an unjustly disgraced star (Armie Hammer). The result? Despite the best efforts of left-wing censors, a brilliant guerrilla campaign has already driven it into the national conversation. Elon Musk then did what he does best: overturned the whole enchilada by releasing it to everyone for free on X.

Basically, Citizen Vigilante is angry that European governments agree with One Battle After Another in that they refuse to enforce the law against the millions of unvetted migrants they imported who have brought their appalling and dangerous Third World values with them.

Let me tell you: Boll isn’t screwing around. His righteous fury against what the government has done to Europe, and especially its women and girls, flames across every scene. That’s one reason the movie works. Another reason it works is that Boll is telling the truth. The primary reason it works is that Boll is the only one telling the truth. …

The flaws? There’s no real story. Armie Hammer’s Michael Sanders is a one-note, robotic justice machine. There are a few eye-rolling contrivances. Considering all the security cameras and Sanders’ refusal to protect his identity 90 percent of the time, it seems impossible he wasn’t caught in the first five minutes. …

He’s also delivering a sweet reckoning to the predominantly white “woke left.” You know the type… The type of judge who releases seven savages guilty of gang-raping an innocent teenage girl because this judge believes those seven savages are victims of a society that didn’t do enough to integrate them. …

Above all, I loved watching The Truth.

Finally… The Truth.

Any of you watch that piece of shit Adolescence, where the British stabbing crisis was laid at the hands of a little white boy poisoned by the manosphere? That dumb series isn’t shit just because it’s a blatant lie, it’s also a creative piece of shit that’s three episodes too long and bursting with pretension, especially the single-shot conceit that drains all the tension out of everything.

Boll tells the actual Truth and does so using the most effective method… Exploitation. …

Citizen Vigilante is not racist. The truth is not racist. Besides, plenty of white people get what they’ve got coming. …

Finally, if anything, Citizen Vigilante downplays its outrages. In real life, it wasn’t seven savages who raped that teenage girl, it was nine. Eight received no prison time.

Elizabeth Nickson at Absurdistan:

Citizen Vigilante is a crude but compelling fictional film about an American with investments in Europe — the specific country is unclear — who has decided to rectify Muslims raping and murdering young girls. …

I began to realize while watching it, I am profoundly, angry at what our governments have done to our culture, which our ancestors built brick by furiously difficult brick. My rage matched the revenge I was watching, a fury I hadn’t yet plumbed. I may be an educated middle class white woman living in the safest place on earth, but those are my people, those were my girls. And yours.

It won’t be playing at the local movie house.
