 Milestone June 18, 2008
A favorite of mine. Viewed so much lost count and will again. Knew nothing of Amish until this and the whole thing works brilliantly. Set the standard for others to follow and does not date. Harrison Ford could not have been better.
Witness, happy to get the Special Collector's Edition June 17, 2008

My mother bought this movie around 1985 on VHS I think. I hadn't seen it at the theater so I was impressed when I saw it on TV the first time and sorry I had missed it on the big screen. Eventually she replaced her VHS with DVD and so I never bought a copy since I could borrow hers. I'm not waiting any longer to get my own copy with this edition at such an incredible price. Ford, Haas, McGillis, and the rest the cast are exceptional in this movie. The story, acting, sets, music and directing are above most movies and the majority of people will see that clearly. Imagine a young boy witnessing a murder of a police officer and then being pursued by unknown forces. A detective, played by Ford, assigned to his case finds they have opened a can of worms. There is a distinct smell of police corruption as they are pursued by other officers. The beautiful scenes like the barn raising in the Amish community are great with a real feel of their culture and life. Excellent quality DVD with tons of extras. Excellent replayability. I also recommend getting Amazon Prime if you buy much at Amazon since it will more than pay you back not only in shipping costs but delivery time too. If you enjoyed this catch "Narrow Margin", "The Client", "Witness Protection", and even "Eraser" for some Schwarzenegger style witness protection. - C. Luster
Witness to a Great Movie June 11, 2008
Witness is a phenominal movie. It is interesting, exciting, and portrays well, for the most part, life within the Amish community. They do a good job of interfacing the simpler lives of the Amish with the insanity that is modern life for most of us. Harrison Ford is always a pleasure to watch; Kelly McGillis is excellent. Lucas Haas in his premier role as the witness is amazing.
One of the most well-worth it scenes is the barn raising. Not only are the visuals excellent, but the music... the music is magical. You can't watch this and not be moved by the truly incredible music.
 Witness (Special Collector's Edition) April 11, 2008
I love this movie. I love the characters, the storyline, the performances from Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis and Lucas Haas. The music by Maurice Jarre is really fine, and the photography is terrific. Just a great film from beginning to end. The extra bits on the Collector's Edition are frosting on the cake - fantastic!!

As much as like Harrison Ford, this movie had me yawning. It was supose to be a futuristic time, but it was just an old dark rainy Japan setting with a few futuristic type vehicles sprinkled in.
It was a cat and mouse chase type movie where you practically know every move of the cat and mouse. Anyway, for me it was a disapointing yawner.
