Review of Witness (1985) by Steven1981 — 20 Mar 2020
Witness made in 1985 is a thriller, mystery film and also an action type of love story aswell because the film does have some elements of love in it... It's mostly a drama type of thriller which is directed, made, executed beautifully.
.. Storyline is not too complex if at all and Harrison Ford's character is very likeable and gives a good performance. Some Amish boy witnesses a murder in a toilet I think but don't quote me on the toilet scenario because I maybe wrong but sure the murder happened in a toilet.
He gets a look at the suspect but however the suspect doesn't see him and how he gets out of the toilet and doesn't get seen is still a mystery to me. I mean the Amish boy but anyway the boy shows Book (Harrison Ford) the suspects photo and Book recognises him.
Book is a cop and he takes the boy somewhere safe until later, a long wait later the badguys track them down but not before Book (Harrison Ford) and Kelly McGill is borderline more or less fall for each other lol.
.. The action scenes are very good and Danny Glover plays a good badguy and the film has a beautiful feel to it which is impressive and is an intelligent thriller and not too over the top. Kelly McGillis lights the screen up with her beauty and Harrison Ford's character and Kelly McGillis have good chemistry when paired together that makes this film very beautiful.
Only bad thing is this films a bit outdated now but remains a classic and one of Harrison Ford's better films. I don't think as far as I remember we get to learn that much about the characters in the movie but it's a good film with decent acting.
