Veteran actor Sam Elliot gives a strong performance as Calvin Barr, a man haunted by his past as an assassin. The end of the film is puzzling, but we do get a good sense of who Calvin is. He reminds me of one that Elliot played in the "The Hero" (2017).

“The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot” screams low-budget pulp. Who knew it was actually a meditative character study full of deep feeling and pathos.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

A pleasant surprise.

Based on the end result, it looks like all the critical information that makes stories make sense was sacrificed to the cutting room in the name of expediency and "cool".

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 2, 2021

It is frustrating as the film so often brushes with greatness but never quite gets there, often struggling to identify where it should hold back and where it should let go.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2020

What's unsettling about this debut feature from writer/director Robert D. Krzykowski is the way it defies almost all audience expectations while giving us Sam Elliott in one of his greatest performances.

| Original Score: B | May 16, 2020

he film is incredibly well-made with talent behind all angles of the film and bold choices working out fascinatingly well on screen.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 11, 2020

Sam Elliott deserves better. So do we.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 27, 2019

It is far more gripping as an understated character study than it is as a wild B-movie.

As Barr, Elliott takes what could easily be a one- (or two-) joke premise and plays it completely straight, imbuing the role with deep melancholy and humanity.

For all the audaciousness the title promises, the end product is a more somber and dour film that tenderly examines the notion of heroism and American myths.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 19, 2019

Somehow this film straddles realism and absurdity and manages to be emotional.

| Jun 26, 2019

Predator written by the Coen Brothers. Definitely not what you think it is, but a killer script and a career-defining lead turn from Sam Elliott makes it more than worthwhile all the same.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 5, 2019

The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot is a wonderfully cinematic and heart-warming movie that won't appeal to everyone.

| May 29, 2019

It's a mix that shouldn't work, but thanks to Elliott's rugged sincerity it somehow does.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 2, 2019

That the filmmaker takes this nonsense seriously doesn't mean we have to.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 16, 2019

The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot is a strange but enjoyable mishmash of genres and ideas held together by the gravitas and class of Sam Elliott.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 15, 2019

The title of The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot might imply a far-fetched pulpy B-movie and while it has some elements of what you might expect, it's actually a rather grounded character piece about life, love and loss.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 15, 2019

A compelling and largely original picture... Much of this has to be attributed to Elliott's commanding and assured performance which sells every aspect.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 12, 2019

Harks back to another age, telling a shaggy dog story around an all-American hero.
