WITNESS **** This film fits Peter Weir's style perfectly. Harrison Ford, as a proficient detective, has to protect the witness, an eight-year-old Amish boy, of the homicide case he's in charge of when the killer (Danny Glover, the ultimate menace) grows wise of the boy existence. As the bad guy's attempt of interrogation gets into the realm of his station, Ford, finding his life in as progressive danger as the boy's, flees with the title character to the Amish village to take shelter. There, he adjusts to his new surroundings, and falls for the boy's sheltered mother (Kelly McGillis); but the hunters aren't giving up their search, and greater suspense is at the heart of what follows.
