another movie from Uwe Boll. as expected its full of violence and interesting take on controversial subjects like illegals and islam.. love this one
I think I've seen one or two clips from it on youtube recently. The acting and dialogue just seemed very... forced. Like the whole premise of the thing was so ridiculous that I'm not sure even Oscar caliber A-list actors could pull it off. It didn't leave me with any desire to watch it.
Similar feelings from trailers and behind-the-scenes stuff I saw about a very strange and extremely fucked up documentary by another german director, Werner Herzog, something called The Act of Killing.

I have zero desire to watch that.
I thought it was something new, but apparently it's from 2012. He has people who led death squads in genocides describe murders they committed in lurid detail and/or recreate their atrocities. I don't understand why someone would want to do this with these people. To see if they feel remorse? Who even gives a crap if they feel any remorse or not. There's certain things a person can do where any consideration about them as human beings ceases entirely. If your film isn't going to possibly result in them being mauled horrifically by the jaws of justice as they deserve, then don't even bother because all you're doing is attempting to profit from sensationalizing human misery, much like if Roman Polankski had decided to leave his house covered in blood and sell tickets to people to tour the Manson murder scene.
yep. acting was not good but passable.. Ive seen worse.. Uwe's movies are kinda bit controversiol atleast.. I you remember those Rampage movies he made. This Citizen Vigilante is like similar but on the opposite perspective.
as a footnote , apparently Germany offers generous tax breaks for movie makers. SO thats why they keep on making crap and dont care if they make it to the box office
