# Witness (1985)

Sep 19, 2025 | Rated 4 out of 5 | Dir. Peter Weir

I felt so sad for Kelly McGillis when she handed Harrison Ford a tall glass of homemade lemonade, and he chugged it all at once without even enjoying it. He didn’t even appreciate all that she put into it for him.

I have to say, though I had not heard of this movie until recently., And it sounded so dumb on paper. But it slaps so hard. Insane seeing all the Amish death traps at the end of the third act.

Harrison Ford absolutely sizzles decked out in Amish gear.
