Citizen Vigilante; Fantasy Made Reality
Citizen Vigilante, what can be said about this movie?
Well, in truth it can be summarized in a handful of words. "White Male Murder Fantasy". That's it, That is quite literally the entire movie. It's no surprise it comes around the same time White Nationalists marched DC(and where Grindr saw nearly 300% spike in activity). One can't help but wonder if this is the movie they went home to and watched with their loved ones. Reinforcing the ideals that anyone that has different skin color or from another country = bad.
What's even worse is Citizen Vigilante doesn't even make sense as a title. He isn't a citizen and wouldn't be tried in court as a citizen. Since you know, he goes to a foreign country to murder a bunch of people who live there. Sounds pretty typical of a white guy am I right?
What I really don't understand is the obsession that it needs to be watched because one country banned it. I suppose I could understand if it was worth actually watching but the action feels clunky and overall the cinematography is.....average? It's not winning any awards and certainly not something I would watch unless it was on Tubi for free or something lie that.
You know that one guy who always has like...this elaborate plot for how he is going to murder someone when they break into his house? Goes into way too many details and makes everyone uncomfortable? That's basically this movie, white man murder fantasy.
4/10 at best.
