Witness comes billed as a thriller, but it's so much more than a thriller that I wish they hadn't even used the word "murder" in the ads.

He spots the man, and it becomes clear that the case is a lot dirtier than Ford's John Book would've imagined. A hard-hitting courtroom drama that's seeks an attention!!!
