@4nt1p4tt3rn i just got done watching it myself. i thought it was a great movie. the action itself was really good. i agree with your post. some parts made me uncomfortable but also its to show how broken this wave of ideology isnt working.
So, I watched Citizen Vigilante.
My thoughts:
1. It is a Uwe Boll film, with all that entails. Understand this going in.
2. It is low-budget. Uwe Boll paid for this film to be made out of his own pocket. And I applaud him for that.
3. There is no plot to speak of. No character development. The movie is 1.5 hours of cathartic release for all the pent-up anger and frustration most of us feel at the state of the world today. Unapologetically so.
4. It is very, sometimes too on-the-nose. But that's the point: this film is a blunt object. A cudgel, being wielded to beat the sleeping and the complicit over the head with what is going on, and how people feel about it. In that, it succeeds.
5. It's clear why it got banned in Europe: it's a direct, clear, and vicious indictment of the governments, courts, and law enforcement not just allowing, but enabling the moral and civil decay we see accelerating around us every day. It is also a call to action. In several instances, the main character states to his audience: "I do this for you, until you learn to do it for yourselves." It's a film that scares those in power. And it should.
Is it entertaining? No. It is not looking to amuse. There is no escape to be found in this film. It is not looking to pump you full of adrenaline. It's not there to take you on a thrill ride. You will not even sympathize with the main character. Hammer's acting is...well, average for him. And I don't consider him a particularly good actor to begin with. His delivery and presence is wooden. But that doesn't detract from the film. The main character is not angry; he's almost numb to the situation, and is doing what needs to be done. He is not there to be liked or rooted for, pitied or empathized with. He's there to express and act on what far too many people hold inside these days.
The film also jumps around in time a bit, without warning, which can make it hard to follow at times. But not in a confusing way; more in an unsettling manner, which I believe was the intent. You are not meant to be comfortable watching this film.
Should you watch it? Yes. And think about it. Think about what it's showing you, what it's telling you. Really think about it.
Got everything assembled for my car but now the radiator leaks. The radiator was the original one from the factory so this thing was never replaced. Guess its good that it needs to be replaced now instead of later. This weekend i should have the outback running.
Had help last week from one of my best friends pulling out the engine and transmission out of the outback. Today me and my dad just got done with assembling the new parts. New valve cover seals, torque converter and while i was there spark plugs!
It's time to bring a class action lawsuit or something against twitch considering the MASSIVE selective enforcement of their rules.
I can only see twitch's refusal to ban the NUMEROUS streamers who have openly committed crimes on their platform as an endorsement of the behavior.
@osashimi_neko Thank you dude! Unfortunately we didn't get it done. I didn't have the right tools. I got them on order so ill be able to tackle it again.
