AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Uwe Boll, the 60-year-old German film director, would be the first to admit that he is more controversy magnet than critical darling. Even so, his latest work, Citizen Vigilante, might be his most controversial film yet. Banned in his native Germany for its extreme violence and supposedly anti-migrant message, and starring the cancelled actor Armie Hammer, it was released in United States on June 19 and is now – courtesy of Elon Musk – streaming in full on X. There are currently no plans for a British release.
