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

Robin J @RT77081417 9h The movie is great, it’s low budget clearly but it told a great story and it was most certainly refreshing See more Parker T @RT74536481 16h this movie is horrid. no story to follow other than a random man with an American accent being mad about politics in the EU? is there a reason he chose this country? there's no true beginning, no explanation, just a snuff film for cheap sfx gore i mean you literally see smoke coming out of a dummies head during the apartment scene. The STORY is the only salvable part of this film and yet it's impossible to follow. are we hunting migrants? Maybe just criminals in general, but at this point it seems like just anybody who commits even the smallest infraction? we pull a gun on a teenager for cheating there way on a bus but just flip drinks on potential assaulters? and for some reason we keep cutting to a random scene in a room where he keeps loading the same gun. The story could've been good if handled properly, but the only character development we see is halfway through the film, with still barely any understanding. the pan outs and scene changes make it feel like a bad MTV documentary See more Ciprian N @RT17924071 5d It is a simple and low budgget movie, but it has something special. The borring old plot structure was demolished. For the first time "the state" (represented here by it main institutions, the cop and the judge) is the actual villan. Usually, we can see a "bad cop" that gets punished in the end, but not here! The structure is build around the ideea of the hyper citizen that brings ballance to society that lost hope in the help of the state. And this sparks unity between victims of the europe's invasion and between real actual citizens affected by this and who are especting a way out. Note the high rating. Usually the state takes the wheel and saves the situation, brings retribution, kills all the bad guys, "Munich" comes to my mind, but on high budget, the state brigs the ballance in the end, defending its people and killing the bad guys. But here is not the case, the state is the villan and the citizen brings the ballance and the scarry part is that it reflects reality even more. See more Anthony R @RT72100727 5d This movie reminds of "Natural Born Killers". If "Natural Born Killers" was directed by a hack, had horrible actors and was less art house. But of course the only thing the two have in common is over the top violence. See more Jeff O @RT03524100 5d Great film, on point - offensive to some idealists, popular amongst realists. See more Niklas L @Realgames 6d Awesome movie that shows the reality in Europe. See more Read all reviews
