Disgraced Actor Armie Hammer Stars in Uwe Boll Film Getting a PS5 Game Tie-In Next Week

The PS5 video game tie-in for Uwe Boll's controversial film 'Citizen Vigilante' is scheduled to hit the PlayStation Store next week, IGN reported. The film, which launched last month, features Armie Hammer, an actor whose Hollywood career collapsed following allegations of abuse and reported cannibalism fantasies.
"looks as rough as you'd expect"
The rough appearance of the game aligns with the film's overwhelmingly negative critical reception, according to IGN.
Kotaku characterized 'Citizen Vigilante' as "a racist polemic that calls for violence against immigrants" and criticized the game for apparently matching the film's poor quality. The game appears to be the work of a solo developer, IGN reported.
"a racist polemic that calls for violence against immigrants"
Kotaku's description highlights the film's controversial themes, which have drawn criticism beyond its poor reviews.
Director Uwe Boll, known for a long history of producing notoriously bad movies, adds another entry to his filmography with this project, Kotaku noted. The film's casting of Hammer, combined with Boll's reputation, has amplified attention around the tie-in game.
With a release date set for next week, the game appears poised to mirror the film's trajectory of poor reviews, though no previews or reviews have yet emerged.
