An aged American war veteran is sent to the Canadian wilderness to kill… the Bigfoot.
I had no idea this film existed until I came across the title. And then I said… “Damn! Now I have to know how Hitler and Bigfoot co-exist in the same sentence”. I’ll tell you this: ostensibly, the film makes no sense whatsoever, and one would think that writer/director Robert D. Krzykowski smokes way too much. But this is not the case!
This is purely my interpretation of the film, so feel free to have your own should you decide to watch it. An old man who once achieved so much and a nation owes him is left with nothing but his dignity and loneliness in a world he no longer understands and no one to share it with. And when he is just about to bite the bullet, the government knocks on his door to assign him an unfathomable mission and the opportunity to save the world once more.
Did I say too much? Sam Elliott and Aidan Turner, as old and young Calvin Barr, respectively, and Caitlin FitzGerald, as Maxine, deliver subtle yet powerful performances, making this film with the confusing title an existential drama about the painful feelings of loss and regret. So, what is the rest all about? That’s up to you to figure out.
P.S. The last flashback scene is heartbreaking…
