Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Harrison Ford has never given a better performance in a movie.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
fresh:
Playing John Book allowed viewers the opportunity to see Ford the actor instead of Ford the action/adventure icon. It is one of the few times he has been given the opportunity to play in a straight drama.

fresh:
Witness warms up as the attraction builds between Ford, McGillis and Haas -- all performing excellently through this portion.
