   Up until the return to Pennsylvania, “Witness” has been a slick, superior thriller. Now it turns into an intelligent and perceptive love story. It’s not one of those romances where the man and woman fall into each other’s arms because their hormones are programmed that way.

   'Witness' provides a glimpse into Amish society that seems genuine and well-detailed. They are portrayed as industrious, self-sacrificing, extreme pacifists who live apart from the outside world, the world of the 'English,' as they call everyone else, regardless of background.

   Witness is a well made fish-out-of-water story, contrasting the violence and complications of the big city with the simpler lifestyle of the Amish, who decline modern technology. Book is initially perplexed by their choices, but gradually comes to appreciate their quiet ways.

   Witness is at once a compelling thriller, a smoldering love story, a thoughtful study in comparative cultures, and a respectful exploration of religious community and nonviolence. It is about belonging and not-belonging, and crossing boundaries between one and the other.

   Is witness a good movie?

   • He ably juggles the various elements of the story and makes the violence seem even more shocking when it's played out on the fields of Amish denial. Witness is a solid film all around, one that has aged decently well, and one that is still a must see. Page 1 of 4, 7 total items. Ford should've won an oscar here for his performance as John Book.
