The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot (2018) Review

Posted on February 18, 2019 by Jeroen Admiraal

The title of the movie promises a lot. To my ears, it promised exciting derring-do with some self-conscious comedy thrown in. Maybe, this movie could have been a Tarantino-esque tale of over-the-top action, with a little wink to the audience … Continue reading →
