Top Critics' Reviews
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.
Fresh: The film is funny, but it's frightening and vertiginous, too -- a complex tone that apparently left audiences baffled.
Fresh: An excellent conspiracy thriller of unusual blackness and wit.
Fresh: A wonderfully intricate and intelligent thriller.

DON'T BUY; scenes cut!
Great movie, but couldn't help feeling that something was missing. A little research shows at least 10 minutes have been cut, with no indication. What gives, Apple?
