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

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.

Witness states its position about clashing cultures with eloquence.

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]
