 WeeklyFilm.com Review-Witness (1985)-"R"
While on the way to visit Rachel's sister in Baltimore, Lukas witnesses, while hiding in a bathroom stall, the murder of a man who turns out to be a police officer.
In making Witness, Weir also wanted to show the huge contrast in cultures between John Book's modern world of crime and violence, and the Latts' centuries-old world of simple farming and peace.
Though some scenes in it may seem formulaic (the shootout at the end especially), the way in which the material is handled and the situations in which the limited action occurs prevents them from detracting from the overall feel of the film.
