Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A bit of a classic
I first saw this film when it came out in general release sometime around 1970. At that time, it was a rousing good story, full of all sorts of meaningful allusions. Now, not too meaningful, but even more fun! Some great acting from some stalwarts, like Perkins, Bridges, and Huston.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Winter Skills
Little seen labour of love movie of the sharp and satirical Kennedy assassination trope by Richard Condon and, alongside the Manchurian Candidate and Prizzi's Honour, probably one of the best filmed adaptations of the author's work. Solid performance by a young Jeff Bridges as the brother of slain President seeking answers to the plot with standout cameos by Richard Boone, Anthony Perkins and - in particular - John Huston, in a role eerily similar to that also played by him in Chinatown.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Expect The Unexpected
Based on the novel by Richard Condon("Prizzi's Honor"), "Winter Kills" is a somewhat dark comical thriller that seems to parallel the Kennedy Assassination investigation.

The story opens 19 years after the death of President Tim Kegan.The "lone gunman" theory is about to come to an end! A dying man gives his confession to the half brother of the President, Nick Kegan(Jeff Bridges).He was the second gunman hired by some very notorious characters. There's evidence to prove it and Nick ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lost masterpiece
In this "Special Edition" DVD you see just how hard and how dedicated all involved were to making trhis movie. A film I consider far ahead of its time and in the same vein to close to the JFK death for most to watrch comfortably.
All involved are superior and the writing is cutting edge even by todays standards.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Conspiracy Follies
"Winter Kills" isn't a particularly great film but it had the potential to be one. Richard Condon's dark comic source material is handled adequately by writer-director William Richert but a more assured hand could have really spiced up this Kennedy-esque conspiracy tale. What makes the film worthwhile is the work of the veteran character actors on hand particularly Sterling Hayden and John Huston who chew the scenery in royal fashion. Their performances demand the audience to take note of the ... Read More
