House of Hammer

I can't believe that people didn't like it... I mean it wasn't the best documentary but not because it totally destroyed Armie Hammer's life. He was clearly on a path at the least. I just think, it was a little too much on his shoulders.

If I was ever called out for being f-ed up, I should hope it would only be for MY SINS. Not the entire family. But it was interesting to hear and it gave light... but not in a compassionate way.

But he clearly did s-t. We've seen this before. The voicemails, the writings, the instagrams... not to count the multiple accounts from women.

The only reason why women make documentaries like this is because people don't listen and the justice system fails.

In a nutshell, Armie is guilty because his Great Great Grandad was possibly a communist. His Grandad tried to hide being Russian. His Father was left the entire family inheritance and the Aunt was cut out the will and is extremely bitter about being left penniless and seems to have never seen Armie since he was a child, but she knows what he's like. Then there's the ex-girlfriend who experienced something she won't talk about and later overheard something else she won't talk about. A couple of thirsty tik-tokers and the girl who's traumatised, but never actually met him. The only person who actually made criminal complaints and MIGHT have merits, has nothing to do with this. Oh and Armie kicked his Aunt when he was four, so he must be guilty.

What a hack job.

I'm unsure what the producers want to leave us with. We're told about the two main narrators current endeavors. In 2022 there were no criminal allegation against army hammer. But the way it ended made me feel like this was just a salacious attack and maybe not a true documentary. Some might say that a documentary can be opened because the story remains to be unfolded.

Overall, the protagonist do a good job of telling the stories, and it's interesting to see how social media was such a big proponent and getting the story told. However, again it could use, perhaps less social media likes and more in-depth reporting..

Apparently in this day and age, it's okay to release a documentary that effectively ruins a man's career and life, despite everything in the documentary being hearsay, and there being absolutely no criminal convictions. So whoever made this documentary has destroyed his life to make a documentary based on.....gossip.

Has no one learned from Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. That just because people say things about someone, that does not mean it's always true. This man has never been convicted of anything. But is being treated as a criminal. Shame on Discovery+ for even allowing this garbage to be made.

Dang, that Armie Hammer is so good looking - and not a bad actor - what a shame. The documentary is very good, interesting, and explains a few things regarding the headlines that cancelled Armie. In a nutshell, it's essentially Sodom and Gomorrah meets the Mafia. The photos of Armie's partners are truly terrifying. The fact that his Aunt participated and discusses her own childhood trauma makes it a worth while watch - that is, if you can get past the vocal fry narration.

(I blame Paris Hilton and the Kardashians for teaching an entire generation this ridiculous and incredibly annoying speech pattern.)
