The film is funny, but it's frightening and vertiginous, too -- a complex tone that apparently left audiences baffled.

fresh:
Winter Kills" isn't exactly a comedy, but it's funny. And it isn't exactly serious, but it takes on the serious business of the Kennedy assassination.

rotten:
Huston gives a powerhouse performance, and Bridges, always likeable, runs through his repertoire of facial expressions and grimaces, but it's a lost cause.
