“A
remarkable title and a remarkable
film; this rip-roaring adventure movie
in the form of a unique, genre-bending
production that follows a legendary
American war hero from his youth,
when he assassinated Adolf Hitler, to
his twilight years, when he takes on
his second notorious adversary, could
be both a war film and monster film
and is entitled intriguingly The Man Who
Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot...” SERVING
IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR, Calvin Barr (played in his youth by television heartthrob
Aidan Turner: Poldark; The Hobbit Trilogy) becomes an international hero
when he assassinates Adolf Hitler and rids the world of a serious risk to world
peace.
After the war, Calvin returns to his gentle pace of life in New England. He
recalls the part he played in the death of Hitler and mourns his lost love,
Maxine (Caitlin Fitzgerald: Masters of Sex; It's Complicated), whom he
intended to marry but missed an opportunity to propose.
“The
Man Who
Killed Hitler And Then
The Bigfoot…
an intriguing, clever
and highly watchable
re-imagining of
history...”
He
is living comfortably with his dog for company at his home, when a gang of thugs
try to rob him. However, as they soon discover, despite his age Calvin has lost
none of his tough-guy abilities.
Decades after the war the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police track down
Calvin (now played by the lovely Sam Elliott: A Star is Born; The Big Lebowski)
to persuade him to lead the attempt to capture an elusive, deadly plague-carrying
beast known as Bigfoot that is a threat to human lives. Although reluctant as
he has vowed never to kill either man or creature again, he finally agrees.
Deep inside the Canadian wilderness, Calvin prepares to face the dangerous creature.
But will he be able to find the Bigfoot before it is too late to stop the spread
of the deadly plague it carries?
A little bizarre (in a good way!) but both the youthful Aidan Turner and a seasoned
Sam Elliott carry it off so well that The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then
The Bigfoot becomes an intriguing, clever and highly watchable re-imagining
of history.
Appealing to fans of war films or monster movies; a little romance thrown in
and a desperate race to prevent a large-scale epidemic. Get set for a mind-bending
journey as one man takes on two dangerous enemies: one in his youth and the
second in his later years to become The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The
Bigfoot.
