Rebecca Onion Slate Jul 1, 2026
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, 2026
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, 2026
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, 2026
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, 2026
Citizen Vigilante provokes discussion that leftist Hollywood media suppress. Go to Full Review
Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Jul 10, 2026
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

Pat C @Caddy411 1 day ago Great flick that tackles government corruption and mass migration. Edge of your seat thriller. See more Nojh P @Reviewer1001 2 days ago Interesting movie. On the surface, its very right-wing orientated with anti-left and anti-woke sentiments expressed by the protagonist. However, it raises interesting ethical and opinions about whether the 'justice system' of courts and law is really set up to protect victims rather than perpetrators. The dubious and disjointed plot focused on retribution and, as the name suggests 'vigilante justice'. If you watch with an open mind it's interesting. If you watch with a fixed view point you'll either love it or buy a gun. Worth a watch if there's nothing else on, but its not cinematic beauty; rather a political tool. See more Einar O @einarolafs 2 days ago One of the worst films ever made, it just looks ridicules, badly filmed, badly cut and what ever message the director is trying to send just makes no sense. The entire movie is just designed to be a rage bait, drawing support from racists and neo-Nazis from its outrageous scenes of mass murder of immigrants and police officers. Using the worst form of stereotyping to build an image of immigrants as violent rapists, in order to create a narrative of justification, in the film, where the protagonist can murder an entire immigrant family in cold blood. See more Antony M @RT07216753 5 days ago I'm surprised how this film even got made. This script, this direction and dialogues. Unbelievable seriously, films like this are only gonna promote wrong things and wrong msgs than anything good. Such a waste of time. See more John L @Jlama 5 days ago Great movie, sadly some think it is controversial. All sides of every issue should be seen. Great casting. Well done See more Emma T @RT83547278 5 days ago From the offset I had a feeling this film was a flop, from the newsreader pretending to be Bridget jones to the Steven Seagal-style gun loading and exercise scenes, to the media blaming all rapes/crimes on immigrants. It’s incompetent and incoherent storyline about an illegal American immigrant "vigilante" funnily enough coming and killing some bad immigrants but also innocent people doing their job, and utilising bothels makes me think he’s no better than the guys he’s meant to be hunting down The sex scene was weird AF with him continually staring at mould whilst climaxing. Most of the waffling story about him being a landlord in a country he shouldn’t legally be, his dad sending him off to boarding school etc added NOTHING to the story. Plus somehow all people in hospital have a ventilator sitting next to them and sustained a c-spine fracture as they all seem to have a collar on?! So bad it’s incredibly entertaining. Watch for a laugh! See more Read all reviews
