ah winter kill and base on the novel by richard condon which deal with a conspiracy that kill the president of the united state 20 year ago . i know condon also write the manchurian candidate which deal with a similar theme and be look forward to see an intelligent thrillerwinter kill leave me cold . it not a thriller it a piece of worthless crap and possibly the bad movie i have see this month and boy have i see a lot of bad movie in june . the problem lie in both the direction and the script and seeing a william richert be responsible for both then he should be blame entirely for this unfunny farce there two thing wrong with this movie . first off be the way everything be present in a totally over the top manner . it not as ott a say something like that jam bond movie with david niven and peter seller but everything have a farcial edge to it with actor completely mug their performance . this might have be justify if there be entertainment value to the movie but there none . a a satire it very silly and so silly that it become almost unwatchable . secondly the scene seem to have be cut so much that theyre render senseless . take for example a scene where the hero be confront a loopy militia leader call dawson . dawson tell the hero he have 30 second start then it cut to the hero be on board a plane . the scene begin and end with no rhyme nor reasona dire movie that an ordeal to sit through .
