Uwe Boll Unleashed: Citizen Vigilante, Armie Hammer & the Movie Germany Wouldn't Certify | Too Opinionated

Legendary and endlessly controversial filmmaker Uwe Boll joins Too Opinionated to talk about his provocative new thriller Citizen Vigilante, starring Armie Hammer. And controversy isn't surrounding this movie — controversy IS part of the story. Citizen Vigilante tackles politically explosive subjects including crime, migration and vigilantism in Europe. Shot in Croatia, the film became an even bigger story when it was refused an age certification in Germany, shifting its initial release focus toward North America. Then Elon Musk promoted the film on X, dramatically expanding its reach and putting Boll right back in the middle of the cultural conversation. And then there's Armie Hammer. We get into why Boll cast Hammer, what he wanted from him as an actor, whether the controversy surrounding his star affected the film, and whether Boll believes audiences should separate an artist's work from the person making it. But with Uwe Boll, Citizen Vigilante is only the beginning. Over a filmmaking career spanning more than three decades, Boll has become one of cinema's most polarizing figures, directing films including House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, In the Name of the King, Postal, Rampage, Darfur, Assault on Wall Street and First Shift. After stepping away from directing in 2016, Boll eventually returned to filmmaking—and Citizen Vigilante has brought him renewed international attention. We talk Citizen Vigilante, Armie Hammer, censorship versus classification, Germany's response, Elon Musk, political filmmaking, Hollywood, critics, cancel culture, controversy and why Uwe Boll has never been particularly interested in playing it safe. And Boll apparently isn't finished with this world: after Citizen Vigilante, he said he wanted to pursue a sequel rather than move forward with his planned House of the Dead-related project. 🔥 Uwe Boll. Armie Hammer. Citizen Vigilante. No safe questions. No safe answers. 👉 Subscribe to Too Opinionated: https://www.youtube.com/@MeisterkhanPod #UweBoll #CitizenVigilante #ArmieHammer #TooOpinionatedPodcast #ElonMusk
