WATCHING ‘RADIO GENOA: THE MOVIE’ MOVIE ‘CITIZEN VIGILANTE’ (2026) WITH A LATINA WOMAN

Saw some talk about ‘the new movie where an American goes round shooting immigrants in Europe’ - proposed watching it to my Latina ‘friend’. She wasn’t convinced by the pitch at first, she wanted to watch Toy Story 5 (2026). I said okay and we went to watch Toy Story 5. It was fine but I don’t know why the film exists, it has the exact same emotional beats as the previous movies. Anyway after we came back it was still early so we watched ‘Citizen Vigilante’ (2026) too

“Do you know what’s happening with immigration in Europe? You know there is a lot of it right?”

“Mmm, I read France will become Muslim”

“Where did you read that?”

“Instagram”

“Have you ever been to France?”

“No”

“Well he’s killing immigrants and the people who let immigrants settle in Europe in this movie”

“Alright”

She didn’t seem particularly fazed by the premise, an action film about ‘a man assassinating Muslims’ you assume not regarded as as ‘problematic’ in Latin America. I was more fazed by the premise than her to be honest. Was sort of watching the entire film with a raised eyebrow while she was just scrolling her phone

Lead is a presumably autistic ex-soldier played by Armie Hammer. Don’t know if the character is partially Bronze Age Pervert inspired. He quotes Nietzche, visits prostitues etc. It’s a bit of that and then the rest is Brenton Tarrant-core. Actually this isn’t fair to BAP, the dialogue is not that level of subtle. It’s incredibly ‘chuddy’, would say some of the most ‘chud’ dialogue ever put to screen. Hammer has a lot of what are quite Brenton Tarrant-esque monologues. Very mass shooter manifesto - “What if everything you were ever taught was wrong?” etc

Didn’t realise it was the same actor who plays the older guy Timothée Chalamet spends a steamy gay Italian summer with in ‘Call Me By Your Name’ (2017). He was a convincing pederast in that. I assume Hammer is doing a film like this now because he got MeTooed afterwards

The acting is very flat throughout - even Hammer delivers his lines in an earnest in a shouty American way robotic angry autist tone. Maybe the acting is an intentional stylistic choice who knows? Will say either way it sort of works for what the film is - in Hammer’s case it does actually fit the character. Actually makes him a more convincing autist in the midst of what amounts to the giant ‘chud out’ that is the film’s plot. Distracting for the first fifteen minutes to be sure but then you just go with it

For me one strange decision the movie makes is to set itself in Zagreb, Croatia of all places. From the trailer I thought it was set in Sweden or Germany or something because of the grey Euro filter the film has but no it’s Zagreb. If you’ve ever been to Zagreb you’ll know the city is boring but basically fine. In real life Zagreb (let alone Croatia) doesn’t really have a huge number of migrants and most of those migrants it does have are Indian, Filipino, Nepali etc. And, most of them only arrived in the past 5-10 years, in the main since… 2018. If you go outside of Zagreb too you will barely see any of these migrants. That includes in Split, Dubrovnik, Rijeka etc. Look it doesn’t matter but it doesn’t really make any sense

(Director) Uwe Boll is German but it still feels like Zagreb serves as a confused stand in for ‘Europe’ in the abstract. Is Boll confused in that way himself? Americans who have difficulty distinguishing between the different parts of Europe will compartmentalise it like it is just some generic city in ‘Europe’. Europe is Europe, it’s the same everywhere after all. What is Europe nowadays? Muslims, rape gangs etc. To be fair, Zagreb as it is depicted (ie grey Euro filter and nondescript with Euro characteristics), a lot of European cities do look like this. You can imagine it as Sweden, Germany etc so it might as well be. Who cares? It’s a good example of the film’s indiscriminate chud logic

Look this film isn’t a serious movie, it’s not even on a ‘right wing’ ‘One Battle After Another’ (2025) level. Uwe Boll is a chud making a chud revenge movie so it’s a movie you watch 1) as a chud movie and 2) to raise your eyebrow in surprise at the fact that they actually made a chud movie. For this reason also you can’t really treat this movie as if it was a proper movie because that would be to misunderstand it. Better to just sit there and nod along to the chud logic - which is roughly the logic of a Gigachad dialogue but a not that funny Gigachad dialogue written by a retard right political commentator. Again, just go with it

If you’re a connoisseur of chud logic you’ll find a lot of great chud logic here - chud logic in the sense of, you’re not really going to buy it into unless you are also a chud. Don’t show your friends and family this movie unless they are also chuds for this reason. Or play it by ear at least. I could sort of get away with it with my Latina friend because she is a Latina, they don’t care as much. Many Latinos in general partial spiritual chuds themselves

On this logic - for instance, Hammer is a landlord who has a large portfolio of properties in the EU Balkans (he mentions going to Ljubljana at one point) though he’s also apparently in Europe illegally and not on a visa. In one scene he becomes incensed when he finds out 10% of his tenants miss their rent payments and pledges to send mafiosos round to beat them up for not paying. This is presented very righteously, he is the unambiguous hero

In another scene, he goes to have sex with a prostitute in a brothel he owns but stops having sex midway through because he notices mold on the ceiling and starts lecturing the prostitute about how not cleaning the mold is disrespecting the landlord ie him. This is quite a long scene. You assume it is included to play up the Gigachad dialogue vibes for a laugh but no, Uwe Boll again takes it all very seriously. Credit to him I guess - the total earnestness is the sense in which I will say the film can actually be entertaining. It’s like a less goofy version of ‘The Room’ (2003)

“What is this film what did you make me watch?”

“It’s a psychological film”

“Alright”

“Is that prostitute an immigrant too? She’s a Muslim?”

“No she’s a Croatian”

At one point he kidnaps a pro-migrant judge by injecting him with morphine. While the judge is in his car off his head on sedatives and drooling into his chest Hammer kills a random civilian to make a point about ‘how people are sheep’ by driving into him to make him swerve. Then he kills the judge afterwards anyway. Later, when the police launch a raid on Hammer’s hideout he kills about twenty police officers. He must kill more Croatians that actual immigrants in this movie - and there aren’t that many immigrants in Croatia to begin with anyway. It’s the kind of thing that only makes sense if you’re operating on chud logic. Once again none of this is presented as a joke, it’s all played completely seriously

He does eventually kill a few Grooming Gang migrants but it takes him until the very end of the film. As he kills them he gives them a lecture about how Islamic values are archaic that sounds like it was lifted from a Radio Genoa tweet. This is what I mean when I say you just have to take the film as a chud movie - yes you can pick it apart easily but what do you want, a medal?

“Do you think he was right to kill those migrants at the end?”

“Yes I think so”

Raised an eyebrow at this. She genuinely seemed to have followed the entire movie as if it were just a regular action movie. Maybe that’s the effect of cultural distance for you. Aside, she is a big fan of Bukele and was glad El Tigre and Keiko Fujimori won their elections in Colombia and Peru

Total ideological victory of Bukeleism in Latin America achieved. Problem now is lots of new presidents have to actually govern competently - region has a history of retard right leaders and not everyone can be Bukele. Botched implementation may discredit Bukeleism if not careful Image
Some of new right neo-caudillo wave like eg Noboa and Paz have achieved less impressive results than Bukele thus far sadly. Note while Bukeleists are a reaction to failures of the left pink tide in 00-10s LATAM this was itself reacting to failures of older retard right leaders
Abelardo de la Espriella and Keiko Fujimori will face hurdles more similar to Noboa in Ecuador than Bukele in ES. Colombia and Peru too especially have a history of militant right regimes that have been responsible for killings - which primes the left there against you even more

Cuba finally cracks - situation on ground was a shitshow. Begs the question, if you want to decisively end a regime is it better to bomb it or slowly wind it down with incremental political and economic reforms? You could get Cuban Communism with Chinese Communism characteristics Image
Even the Chinese Communist Party says “time to wind it down.” Was genuinely taken aback at the dysfunction when I visited, impressed in a way too that it was still going Image
One problem is there are Cubans who are still fairly dedicated to communism. Cuban culture mythologises communism - it is linked to national identity for many. Not enough that most wouldn’t prefer some change but enough these sentiments will still hang around politics and culture
