The story follows a legendary American war veteran named Calvin Barr (Sam Elliott / Aidan Turner) who, decades after serving in WWII and assassinating Adolf Hitler, must now hunt down the fabled Bigfoot. Living a peaceful life in New England, reflecting on a lost love, the former veteran is contacted by the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to lead the charge as the creature is carrying a deadly plague and is hidden deep inside the Canadian wilderness.

O melhor deste filme é o seu título bizarro e Sam Elliott como um reformado badass que matou Hitler na Segunda Guerra Mundial e é contratado pelo FBI para localizar e matar o Bigfoot no bosque canadiano nos dias de hoje, quando ele se lembra do seu antigo amor. Infelizmente, porém, nem o desempenho de Elliott, nem as cenas surpreendentemente decentes e por vezes bem direcionadas (para o orçamento limitado) têm hipótese de enfrentar uma história completamente desintegrada e desequilibrada que evita consistentemente qualquer tipo de gradação, leva desnecessariamente demasiado a sério o enredo aparentemente totalmente absurdo, e deita fora, sem jeito, qualquer coisa que possa ter sido interessante sobre o enredo. Essencialmente, é um torso mal construído e retrospetivamente contado de um romance de guerra minimalista, no qual os episódios risíveis e breves com Hitler e o Bigfoot (mais uma passagem isolada sem sentido com um russo e uma barba sem ligação ao resto do filme) são apenas digressões aleatórias e completamente inutilizadas.

You look forward to the coolest film of the year, with Nazi hunting and the legendary creature, and what you get is a dodgy portrayal of ageing and fighting one’s own past. Sam Elliot and the composition of some of the transitions between the two timelines are great, the rest is sloppy, with motivations that are so incomprehensible that it’s embarrassing.

Robert D. Krzykowski was physically present before the screening and warned us not to expect any B-type exploitation flick as the title might suggest. He said his film is more in the style of Hal Ashby and Robert Altman. And he was right – having too high expectations for this piece would be a mistake. The title is actually not subversive at all – both Hitler and Bigfoot are killed in the film, but the piece concerns something completely different in practice. What I would call subversive is the entire concept – if there even is one – and its (non-)understandability. Aside from that, it is a strangely narrated, sensitive drama about ageing, the value of undertaken deeds and related legends concerning a man who was in no way special, yetwas exceptional.[Sitges 2018]
