Chicago Sun-Times -
This is, first of all, an electrifying and poignant love story....And it is also one hell of a thriller.

Empire -
Arguably Harrison Ford’s finest performance, and one of the strongest thrillers to emerge from the heady gloss of the ‘80s, this is director Peter Weir at his most adept.

Sure-footed thriller, beautifully photographed, with Ford's best performance thus far.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
Witness is satisfying on so many levels it stands with "Cabaret" and "The Godfather II" as an example of how a director in love with his medium can redeem its mainstream cliches. [07 Feb 1985]
