Ratings and reviews

A friend told me about this movie, otherwise a movie with this title is one I'd always skip. But, surprisingly, its actually pretty good. In the indie-films scene, you could say pretty damn good. It is SLOW, but the great acting and story will keep your attention throughout. You learn just enough about the main character and theres enough action for me not to be too picky- bigfoot could've looked better though. If its cheap- rent this!

It is a very fractured story line surrounding the events of both Hitler's assassination and the hunt for Bigfoot. Both are interesting, but the slow to move along filler in-between leaves the viewer bewildered. There are a few very intense, well-acted moments between Elliott and Livingston (who plays a government agent). Otherwise, I'm confused and disappointed by the parts of the story completely absent - leaving the viewer to wonder, "What happened?" And I mean in a completely mystified sense of what happened. A lot of the story is left unanswered, while other lengthy scenes are essentially irrelevant to the plot. Basically, the trailer is better than the overall movie in my opinion.

While the title offers the viewer a trip into the surreal world of hidden conspiracy and coverups, underneath all this is the utter longing of a lonely man whose hope and dream of spending his life with the love of his life has been buried by his call to serve his country. Though somewhat mythical the truth is many have sacrificed their hopes and dreams for the same call. The weaving together of flashbacks and current story is well-done. It's exciting to see that the "old guy" still has steel in his spine and a willingness to sacrifice once again when duty calls. Yet, lingering on is the memory of a love that could never be coupled to the ache for the love that almost was. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed Elliott's role well played. It left me with a sadness which is the very emotion embedded in the leading character's journey in the film. Watch it and appreciate the sacrifice of the many who left the one they wanted to be with more than any other to serve the many who would never know the price they paid.
