Review title: Conspiracy Follies
Product review: "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 material's twisted overtones but Richert, to a degree, undermines them. Jeff Bridges, with his classic movie star looks but a character actors thought process, wisely defers to his older compatriots. Just a thought: In 1985, Huston brought Condon's "Prizzi's Honor" to the screen with smashing results. One could only imagine what he could have accomplished if he was at the helm of this venture.
