Purely Joyful Movie!

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This is surprisingly good film for a TV production. I am surprised that producer could not see this one coming. Anyway,... I was sitting at home one day, watching TV, and than the movie started. Never heard of it before, but when I saw the actors that are in it I new that it had to be at least a good movie. Tom Sizemore rules, and Shawn was star to come in next couple of years, and he showed it. 11:14 and Alpha dog are good movies. And then a true star, a man that should have already won an Oscar, Forest Whitaker, he proved himself over and over again. At the end I ask a question: Why is this a TV movie??? Should have been in cinemas.

What should be a documentation on the witness protection programme quickly fizzles into a domestic drama. And not a very good one at that. Performances are average but with no real chemistry between the characters. This stuff isn't released as a big movie for a reason. Mainly because it's not any good. "Witness Protection" is as un-memorable as movies come. 4/10.

This movie features excellent acting as well as an honest portrayal of the havoc a criminal's life wreaks on his family's. Witness Protection demonstrates the difficulty that readjustment with a different identity and life is...

I thought that this was just another "made for cable" movie that would be just to watch once and forget. I was very wrong. This movie showed a different view to the unknowing public as to what really goes on in the witness program and it is not what we all think. This movie also had also no dull moments. I tried playing a game with my wife later and called her Joan (as in Joan Cooper) to try to slip her up, and sure enough, it is real easy to tell people things they can use against you. Great movie for all except for anyone under 10. Great job by Tom Sizemore, Forrest Whitaker, Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio and William Sadler, and the 2 actors that played their children. Keep it up HBO.
