Featured review
Despite the outrageous title, a slow character study centered on loss and regret...
This is not the movie you might reasonably have expected from the title - while both killings are part of the movie, they play second fiddle to the story of a man who has sacrified everything for what he believes is in service of the greater good.
Really took me by surprise, Sam Elliot really delivers a superb performance, which is pretty much what the movie hangs on.
Yes, it's a bit bizarre to have a movie where the assassination of Hitler and killing of Bigfoot - by the main character - are mere sidenotes in a slow-burn character study....
But it worked for me, I can see why it wouldn't for others, but it's genuinely a good movie and not the b-movie schlock-fest the title implies.
