What critics compared Winter Kills to
With close-cropped hair and a grizzly beard that bring to mind John Huston's devious power broker in "Winter Kills," Nick Nolte is wickedly effective as real estate developer Jake, believable when he tells Bobby he can literally smell a lack of scruples on a man.
Scott is the son of the mayor of Portland, and after three years of street life under the tutelage of Bob Pigeon (William Richert, director of "Winter Kills," as the Fagin-like leader of an army of callboys), he's about to come into his inheritance.
(This film is closer in spirit to something like "Winter Kills," another cameo-filled bit of craziness.)
