How could you go wrong with a title like that? Well....I’ll get to that later. This is a little movie that showed up out of nowhere in the festival circuit last year and had its wide release this year, starring Sam Elliot right around hisHow could you go wrong with a title like that? Well....I’ll get to that later. This is a little movie that showed up out of nowhere in the festival circuit last year and had its wide release this year, starring Sam Elliot right around his Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in 2018’s A Star Is Born remake, directed by Bradley Cooper and starring him and Lady Gaga. Note to self: watch A Star Is Born. Anyway, from the title you would expect this to be some sort of Bubba Ho-Tep/Terry Gilliam-esque tongue-in-cheek self-aware absurdist comedy, but that’s not what it is at all. It’s actually a serious drama about an old man’s relationship with his girlfriend and family in the past. It also happens to be about the guy who killed Adolf Hitler in World War II and is tasked by the government to go kill Bigfoot because he is spreading a deadly disease that could wipe out all life on earth. This is a weird movie. Like, it’s not bad, it is pretty well-made, if a little poorly paced (Some parts drag and it is really slow.), but it’s very weird. The performances were good, Sam Elliot especially was great, but the Bigfoot suit that they used just looked terrible! It just looks like a guy in a suit! The Bigfoot in Harry and the Hendersons looked better! Was it some kind of a joke? Like, the reason Bigfoot sightings look like a guy in a suit is because that’s what he actually looks like and it’s not actually a guy in a suit? I don’t get it. Luckily, it wasn’t in the movie that much so it wasn’t too distracting. The cinematography and the music weren’t that memorable, but there were some scene transitions that I thought were cool. Overall, this is a very odd little film. It’s not perfect and I don’t think it’s for everyone, it is pretty slow and very weird, but I can’t say it isn’t unique! I say check it out, you might like it!… Expand
