The film that i am reviewing today, is called 'the witness'. This film was released in 1985, and directed by a man called Peter Weir. This man creates a cunning plot to the movie that causes serious problems. A detective commiting a crime, which ended up as a result to injuries occuring and deaths being lost. The only reason the detective was caught commiting this crime, was due to an innocent little amish boy, going to the toilet before a train journey at the train station. The boy was in the toilet whilst the drama took place by the sinks. I find that this movie was a great thriller to watch and i would definatly recommend it to the ages of 13 up to adults.  John Brook, Played a spectacular role throughout this movie as one of th main characters. I thought that there was a strong connection betweeen him and rachel especially when he was injured and rachel was treating him like a patient. Overall, the acting in this movie was outstanding and each character really contributed to the scene and drama the viewer is watching. I give this movie a 3 out of 5 rating only due to the fact that i prefer a more adventurous movie. That is only my opinion.
