The final scene of Uwe Boll's controversial new film Citizen Vigilante, in which a self-appointed avenger played by Armie Hammer executes an entire family of Syrian migrants—father, mother, brother, sister—in their apartment, is going viral on X in all the wrong places. The movie follows Sanders (Hammer), an American veteran visiting an unnamed European city on business, who's become a Death Wish–esque folk hero. He kills this family because the teenage son was part of a gang of migrant kids that raped a local girl and escaped punishment because the judge on their case was overly sympathetic to their situation. (Earlier in the film, Sanders murdered that judge, too.)
