Thanks to Quentin Tarantino, 'Winter Kills' - the batshit 1979 movie about Jeff Bridges investigating a JFK-like assassination plot - returns to theaters. Its timing is perfect
They hightail it to the City of Brotherly Love and sure enough, there’s the gun, wrapped in plastic and hidden right where the mysterious stranger said it would be. Kegan, accompanied by an old friend and several police officers, confiscate the weapon. When they pile in the car to take the item back to the station for further investigation, he happens to notice a young woman and a child riding around the square on a bicycle. He stares at her. She pops her bubblegum.
That scene is an early indication that you’re in good hands, in terms of channeling dread over unseen forces doing dirty deeds for shadowy patrons. It’s also where the narrative begins to spin out of control with a velocity that will throw most moviegoers into a state of confusion and delirium. Condon had writtenback in 1959, which demonstrated that he was a novelist who could weave a satire into a political thriller, and vice versa.
