Elon Musk Shares Link to Watch Armie Hammer’s Comeback Movie After It Was Banned in Germany
Musk’s post made the banned German film available to stream free for 48 hours, giving Armie Hammer’s comeback attempt a wider audience.
- On Friday, June 26, Elon Musk shared a streaming link to Citizen Vigilante via Twitter, supporting Armie Hammer's attempt to resurrect his film career. The German film starring Hammer, 39, was previously banned in its home country.
- Hammer is returning to acting after his career effectively ended four years ago following 2021 allegations of abuse. The actor vehemently denied the claims, which the Los Angeles Police Department investigated but declined to file charges due to insufficient evidence.
- Director Uwe Boll also shared the link for Citizen Vigilante, which depicts an American in Europe on a violent mission. The film was banned in Germany due to its "migrant-killing" subject matter, according to media reports.
- According to Variety, the link remained active for 48 hours before going dark. The outlet published a review characterizing the movie as "so astonishingly bad" that it felt like "deliberately sabotaging" Hammer's comeback attempt.
- In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published June 19, Hammer expressed gratitude for the role, stating, "I'm going to get to do the thing that I love more than anything, other than my children.
