I was expecting a comedy...

...and end up watching this pretty slow paced drama about a extraordinary man living an extraordinary life.Sam Elliott is as good as he's always been, leading almost by himself this film, that's has quite the Forrest Gump feel to it. More than a movie, it is a tale.Pretty classic in its narration and image, "The Man That Killed Hitler and Then Bigfoot" surprises by the atmosphere it gives, the sadness of its character and the world he lives in.A good film.

Great performances, it will leave you scratching your head though.

In Empire Strikes Back, Luke is about to enter a cave, he asks Yoda what is in there. The answer, "Only what you bring with you." This is really at the heart of The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot. The tale follows Calvin Barr, played in youth by Aiden Turner and in age by Sam Elliott, both of whom give outstanding performances. As a young man he is tasked with hunting down and killing Hitler, as an old man he's drawn into hunting down and killing The Bigfoot. But is that really what this film is about? I saw it as an allegory on aging, vulnerability and Alzheimer's but reading other reviews it clearly means different things to different people. From an allegory on America's fight against Fascism and then Communism, through a man rewriting his past, a weak man trying to give the mistakes in his life meaning, to a story about a man who genuinely killed Hitler and then Bigfoot. There are many other reviews that offer different readings on this film. This movie seems to hold up a mirror to the audience and you put your own meaning on it. What isn't up for debate are the fantastic performances of the cast, from Elliott and Turner, through to Larry Miller as Calvin's brother and Caitlin Fitzgerald as Maxine, Calvin's lost love. It's a mesmerising film and you'll debate what it's trying to say for a long time afterwards. It's definitely worth a viewing or two.

Not what you expect from a film with both 'Hitler' and 'Bigfoot' in the title.

Regardless of what the title may imply, 'The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot (2018)' isn't a campy, perhaps 'Nazi experimentation' based, B-movie. Instead, it's primarily a character study, a mediation on murder that, refreshingly, paints the experience as negative regardless of who received the bullet. Yet the piece is never quite sure what it is or what it truly wants to be. The two almost totally separate things I've just mentioned (schlocky B-movie and serious character study) seem to be fighting for screen-time. This, of course, creates an inconsistent experience. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it isn't. The quieter, more contemplative stuff is the most successful; it's an interesting take on an oft-wondered 'what if?'. Sam Elliot is generally fantastic in the lead role, delivering on the surprising nuance of his character with his typically 'all American' charm. Aidan Turner does a good job as his younger counterpart, too - although, he really can't pull off the moustache. The rest of the cast are typically decent but a few key players don't quite pull off what they need to. The design of the eponymous 'Bigfoot' is also bizarrely squirrel-like and evidently low-budget. Indeed, the action-based segments featuring it are the worst in the entire affair, even if they do connect thematically to the much better drama stuff. It's almost a shame that 'Bigfoot' is even involved, as the flick could've been a subversive look at war-time violence and a man who almost regrets doing what most people seemingly dream of. If a steadier hand where on its wheel, the film could've been a cult classic. As it is, though, it's just fine. It's good enough but nothing more, bogged down by a strange structure and an uneven tone. It mightn't be what most people expect, but I'm glad that it isn't. 5/10
