Armie Hammer Cried Over His 'Hateful' Comeback Movie

Armie Hammer, the former Hollywood heartthrob whose career collapsed in 2021 after abuse allegations, is making headlines again. The actor, trying to stage a comeback, stars in the film "Citizen Vigilante" by director Uwe Boll, which was released last month. But what was supposed to be a triumphant return has turned into another scandal.

According to insiders close to the actor, Hammer cried when he first saw the final cut of the film. He called the movie "hateful" and "disgusting," saying it didn't match his expectations. A source reported that the actor was furious: "This is not the movie I thought we made."

"Citizen Vigilante" sparked controversy even before its premiere. It was banned in Germany for its anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim messaging. Nevertheless, the film unexpectedly became a hit on streaming platforms Apple and Amazon after Elon Musk posted it in full on X. This led to the movie topping the charts.

Currently, Armie Hammer is reportedly on the lookout for a new project to revive his career. However, insiders note that the actor hasn't ruled out participating in a sequel to "Citizen Vigilante" if he's offered "life-changing money": "Everyone has a breaking point." Hammer's representatives have not yet commented on the situation.

Recall that Hammer's career went downhill in 2021 when several women accused him of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. There were also allegations of cannibalistic fantasies: one woman claimed the actor branded her and drank her blood. Hammer has vehemently denied rape and cannibalism charges but admitted to emotional abuse.

The "Citizen Vigilante" scandal has once again brought attention to Hammer, and now the public is wondering whether the actor can regain audience trust. Some critics believe that choosing such a controversial film is not the best move for his comeback, while others think any publicity might work in his favor.
