The Man Who Killed Hitler and then Bigfoot

Overview

The Man Who Killed Hitler and then Bigfoot is a 2018 film about a world war 2 veteran, Calvin, who does exactly what it says on the tin. He assassinates Hitler (with a handgun equipped with a whiskey hip-flask silencer) and then is called on by the American and Canadian government to aid them in their mission to kill folklore idol Bigfoot, who is rabid and spreading a deadly virus. The film starts promising when I see a German officer looking at his watch which has swastikas instead of normal hands and i'm thinking "excellent, can't beat a bit of light-hearted Nazi silliness". But a weird intense shave by a Russian man in a tent later, who drinks Gin instead of vodka, things take a ridiculously shit turn.

Favourite Quotes

"Hey move your table pal, it's in the way of everything" - said by the rude patron in a restaurant when he bumps into Calvin's table, just as he's about to propose to his sweetheart before going to face the horrors of war. This is probably the only thing that amused me about this film, other than the swastika watch and the silencer disguised as a hip flask.

"What are you gentlemen talking about" - Exactly what i was thinking, when Calvin and two government agents are sat at his dining table talking absolute nonsense. By this point in the film, i'd completely lost interest and struggled to focus on what was happening.

Favourite Scene

1 hour and 15 minutes in, I turned over to watch Highway Patrol on Pick, an Australian reality TV series which shows what the traffic police have to deal with everyday on Aussie roads. Much the same as UK roads, drink drivers, speeders, driving the wrong way towards on coming traffic, running red lights and a whole lot more. Far more exciting than the drivel I've just wasted part of my morning on.

Final Words

How a film titled "The Man Who Killed Hitler and then Bigfoot" could turn out so boring and unexciting is beyond all comprehension. It wasn't even hilariously shit like many others I've seen in a category of this nature. First time since during this film review club I've been unable to finish watching the movie until the end. I just couldn't take anymore. Garbage in every sense of the word from beginning to end. Avoid!

I score this film 0 mythical folklore creatures out of 5. It doesn't do enough to earn a score above that. Dreadful.
