Due to its ban in Germany and France, Citizen Vigilante rose to the top of the charts with help from Elon Musk posting the full movie on X. Armie Hammer, who plays an American ex-soldier in the film, goes on a mission to target and attack criminals after witnessing the corruption that’s enabled by the legal system.

On this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay offer their insight into Citizen Vigilante and the cultural significance that the film now holds. Melissa felt like her time was wasted watching the film, pointing out the heavy propaganda and lack of artistry. On the other hand, Scott points out that the overall message about the lack of assimilation — rather than the film’s technical aspects — is what made it shine. Tune in to hear their discussion!
