The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot is a 2018 movie directed by Robert D. Krzykowski and starring Sam Elliott, Rocco Gioffre, and Aidan Turner. The movie follows the story of a retired American soldier named Calvin Barr (Sam Elliott) who killed Adolf Hitler during his mission in Nazi Germany. Decades after the war, Calvin lives a lonely life in his hometown in Massachusetts. He is haunted by memories of the war and his secret mission. However, his solitude is disrupted when a government agent visits him with an urgent request.

The government has discovered that the Bigfoot, a legendary creature from the Northwest, is carrying a deadly virus that could end humanity. The only way to stop the virus from spreading is to kill the Bigfoot. Calvin is known as the only man who can accomplish this task, and the government seeks his help. Initially reluctant, Calvin eventually agrees to the dangerous mission, knowing that this is his chance to right the wrongs of his past and prove his worth to the world.

Calvin sets out on his mission, armed with a rifle and his experience as a soldier. Along the way, he meets a young soldier named Reggie (Aidan Turner), who is tasked with assisting him on his mission. Reggie is initially skeptical of Calvin's abilities, but eventually comes to respect him and his experiences. Together, they navigate the dangerous terrain of the Northwest to find and kill the Bigfoot.

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot is an unusual movie that blends historical events with fictional elements. The story is told in a non-linear fashion, with flashbacks to Calvin's mission in Nazi Germany interspersed with his current mission to kill the Bigfoot. The film is both a tribute to the classic war movies of the past and a meditation on the futility of war.

Sam Elliott gives a fantastic performance as Calvin Barr, bringing the character to life with a quiet intensity. The movie showcases Elliott's talents as an actor, and he is well-matched by Rocco Gioffre, who plays the young Calvin in flashbacks. Aidan Turner is also solid in his role as Reggie, providing a necessary counterbalance to Elliott's weighty performance.

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot is beautifully shot, with stunning landscapes and cinematography that captures the beauty and isolation of the Northwest. The score is also a highlight, perfectly complementing the film's emotional beats.

Overall, The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot is a poignant, thought-provoking movie that explores the weight of history and the cost of war. It is an unusual blend of genres, but it works thanks to the commitment of its cast and crew. While not for everyone, the movie is an original and unique entry in the war and monster movie genres, and is well worth a watch for fans of both.
