Four years after unproven sexual assault allegations effectively ended his Hollywood career, the 39-year-old American actor has taken the lead role in 'Citizen Vigilante', a film that has itself become the subject of fierce controversy before a single screening was permitted in Germany.
Hammer plays Michael Sanders, a US Army veteran who hunts down migrant criminals and corrupt judges in an unnamed European city. It marks his first major film appearance since 2021, when allegations of sexual assault made by a former girlfriend, allegations he has consistently denied and for which no criminal charges were ever filed following an investigation by Los Angeles police and prosecutors, saw him exiled from the film industry.
