Absolutely the worst movie.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is the most moved mistery movie I have ever seen. A cup was murdered in a station and an Armish boy Samuel saw the murder. John Book, a justice cop investigate the case. But soon it revealed who had done it. John reported who is the murderer to his boss, but the boss was an asshole, he ordered the murder and tried to elase John Book and Armish witness. John was shooted, but he escaped into a village of Armish. He did not go to a hospital, because doctors must notify gunshot and the dirty cops will find him and Sammuel. Instead of it, Rachel took care of him. After his recovery, he lived there for a while because if he had gone back, he would soon been arrested. John noticed Armish life beautiful but full of difficelties in this era. People don't understand them is very rude to Armish. They humliated Amish or treated them as animals in circus. John was filled with strong moral, he could not endure all of it. But actually he was them a few days ago. He stands in Armish side now. "Be careful amongst English" Mr. Rup told Rachel when she left the village, and he told John when he went home too. It means Mr. Rup now recognized him as one of them, Armish. It is very funny and surprizing that corn became a weapon while John Book ran from dirty cops. Soon after that he shooted to kill one. Gun is the power. He left his to Rachel, it means he agrees to obey Armish custom. If he had kept that, he would never have been found. He was found because of violence. The scene Armishes built a house, Armish guy passed John a cup of milk. Audience can see he also recognize John one of them without any words. We can see every Rachel's eyes on John as a sign of her falling love with him. He and she did not say 'I love you' but we can see process of their romance.

This movie starts with the scene that a child witnesses a man being killed by the two murderers in a restroom. The child and his mother are chased by two killers because of the witness, so the detective helps them an pd lives in a country. I was very impressed with the scene that the boy witnesses the crime. One of the murderers checks all toilets when he hears the sound. The kid barely escape from the danger, but I can feel his tension from his expression. I was also scared that the killer peeps into a gap between the door and the floor. The camera angle makes me more horrible and tense. It was also memorable for me that the detective and the kid's mother run to and hug each other. I can feel they really love one another. and the impulse of their love makes them do such a passionate action from their serious expression. I like this movie because I can enjoy the tension of the detective, the mother ,and a kid. I can forget their tense expectations. I also enjoyed the heartbreaking love since I cannot imagine the ending of the two people.

Of the many movies I have reviewed on Amazon thus far, "Witness" is a strange one in that while it does contain some great scenes, it is (at its core) quite formulaic and very much a product of its times (i.e. doesn't hold up quite as well over time).For a basic plot summary, "Witness" is a story about a young Amish boy named Samuel (Lukas Haas), who witnesses a police officer murder another man in cold blood. Along with mother Rachel (Kelly McGillis), Samuel is put under the protective custody of Detective John Book (Harrison Ford), where they ultimately end up back in the Amish settlement.There are, indeed, quite a few great moments in this movie. The concept in and of itself is fascinated (a closer look at the Amish), and in this respect the acting of Harrison Ford is truly the stalwart quality of the entire film. Some of the best scenes, including the now-iconic "ice cream cone scene", involve Ford's character trying to fit in or adjust to the foreign (at least to his way of thinking) Amish society.The reason this film is no classic, though, is because it is very paint-by-numbers in many respects. It was as if the studio sat down and said "Harrison Ford is big right now and McGillis has the sex appeal factor...we need to make a movie to capitalize on these two things". While there is nothing wrong with that of thinking, per se, it is not the kind of creative thinking from which masterpieces are usually created. A ridiculously out-of-place McGillis nude scene is an example to prove my point.Overall, "Witness" is a decent flick that is too "stock" to ever sniff greatness. Enjoy Ford and the uniqueness of the Amish, but don't go looking for all that much more.

Rachel Lapp (Kelly McGillis) recently lost her husband. She and her son Samuel (Lukas Haas) are traveling from Pennsylvania by train to visit her sister in Baltimore. While waiting for a transfer, Samuel witnesses a murder at the Philadelphia train station bathroom. The victim is a policeman. Det. John Book (Harrison Ford) hounds Samuel for an ID. At the police station, he recognizes James McFee (Danny Glover)'s picture as one of the two killers but he's a police lieutenant. Book tells Chief Paul Schaeffer (Josef Sommer) but he's in on the corruption. McFee shots Book. He drives them back to their home to hide. He passes out as he's leaving the Lapp home.Director Peter Weir infuses this with tension. The main actors are all terrific. The clash of cultures is compelling and handled well. It's well written. The crime drama is tightly wound like a great coil readying to spring.
