'Citizen Vigilante' Review: Uwe Boll and Armie Hammer Deliver an Indulgent Vigilante Thriller

By

Todd Gilchrist

10d ago· 5 min readenReview

Summary

A review of Uwe Boll's thriller 'Citizen Vigilante' (originally titled 'The Dark Knight'), starring Armie Hammer as a vengeful American abroad. The film is criticized as an indulgent, incurious, and ugly portrait of vigilantism that fails to thoughtfully reckon with the complex morality of extrajudicial justice. The review notes the irony of the original title given the Batman connection, and suggests the film does nothing to help Hammer recover from his fall from grace.
