The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot (2018)

The thing that attracts you to The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot is also its biggest weakness. It creates expectations in terms of tone - crazy B-movie à la Kung Fury, but it's not that at all, much more poignant - and it gives away the game in terms of plot (or plots, one a flashback, the other current day). One to throw on your list of movies in which Sam Elliott sits at a bar, this is a dark, reflective story about the assassin who took out Hitler, an act that made him jaded, disabused and haunted by the memories of what he lost as a result. It's about the pointlessness of killing - did Hitler's dream die with him? ask yourself that - and when he's pulled out of retirement to track the plague-infested missing link, it only seems like it's coming out of left field (imagine if the title didn't telegraph it), but is a thematically correct trip back in time to kill humanity before it spawns. Whether they deserve it or not, there's a moral ugliness to killing that can't be denied, though our protagonist nevertheless goes through a kind of catharsis as a result. Elliott is damn good in this, damn, damn good, and worth the price of admission. And you know me, I always give bonus points for crazy elements, which this movie definitely has. 1 year 6 months ago
