The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot

It is far more gripping as an understated character study than it is as a wild B-movie.

It's a mix that shouldn't work, but thanks to Elliott's rugged sincerity it somehow does.

The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot is a strange but enjoyable mishmash of genres and ideas held together by the gravitas and class of Sam Elliott.

This is an elaborate Dadaist joke, the funniest part of which is that it's not in the least bit funny.

[A] strange and original and at times surprisingly lovely bit of folklore...

[I]t's not near as much fun as the title might imply. In fact, you get the feeling the title was slapped on the movie after someone realized how thoroughly awful it was.

Veteran actor Sam Elliot gives a strong performance as Calvin Barr, a man haunted by his past as an assassin. The end of the film is puzzling, but we do get a good sense of who Calvin is. He reminds me of one that Elliot played in the "The Hero" (2017).

“The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot” screams low-budget pulp. Who knew it was actually a meditative character study full of deep feeling and pathos.

A pleasant surprise.

Based on the end result, it looks like all the critical information that makes stories make sense was sacrificed to the cutting room in the name of expediency and "cool".
