Audiences like it, and critics hate it. Watch it now, as it might be gone tomorrow.
Based on the controversy, I was expecting it to be an anti-migrant movie. Actually it was more of a Batman movie. The protagonist is an American in Germany, with inherited wealth, and his own personal issues.
The title is odd, as he is a vigilante, but not a citizen in Europe where he goes on his rampage.
It does get a little political at the end, where he blames Islamists and woke leftists. Those are two very different groups.
Update: The movie is set in some European country, but not Germany. The protagonist is a psychopath, with unclear motivations. Some of the scenes appear pointless.
It is a little like the Charles Bronson 1972 movie Death Wish. A lot of violence in pursuit of revenge on criminals and enablers.
So not really a great movie. I thought it was interesting because it directly appealed to citizens to do something about migrant criminals terrorizing people, while the authorities do nothing. For that, it is anti-woke.
Update: Writer-director Uwe Boll is interviewed about the movie. He says it was filmed in Croatia, with the migrants being Moroccan, Hungarian, and a Jew.
