I'm not a film critic.
I'm not here to give my opinions on the aesthetics of the film.
I am worried about what the film says and what message it sends and who's promoting it, Elon Musk.
I wouldn't be sitting here, Piers, talking about this film.
You wouldn't be doing this segment.
I didn't write a Guardian article about it if it wasn't for Elon Musk.
With the greatest respect to Uwe Boll, he makes a lot of films.
We're talking about this one because Elon Musk amplified it to 240 million people on X on Twitter.
He promoted it.
He says he might fund a sequel.
So it's a huge, it's not about whether you like the movie or not.
Why is Elon Musk promoting it, Piers?
That is the question I want to answer.
And then you get into the content of the film and the messaging, and the messaging is far-right propaganda.
It is anti-Muslim.
I'm glad Uwe Boll has Muslim friends.
But this is a fundamentally anti-migrant, anti-Muslim film.
This is a film which begins in Europe.
It just says Europe, blankly, because it plays into this American right-wing stereotype, Piers, that you've tried to push back against.
on your show that a lot of right-wing Americans think Europe is some crime-ridden, immigrant-infested, violent dystopia, when in fact the United States has a higher violent crime rate, higher murder rate than every single member state of the EU.
