Well, The Witness disappointed me on a lot of levels. At first I was intrigued by the premise of the story, but just a little bit into the film I slapped my head already half a dozen times watching this pathetic excuse of a protagonist constantly taking the wrong decision and thereby hurting a lot pf people. It was really excruciating as there was no real reason for his behaviour other than a hard to understand sense of pride / irrational fear of things that wouldn't happen in the first time when he just did one action right. Well, after two thirds or something he finally manages to do the right thing once and - guess what? - now every other important character acts unbelievable dumb and incompetent from now on. After a lot of horrendous scriptwriting, the ending is just the top of the cake. The perp has an insane amount of luck with what he manages to get away with.
The only positive thing is the cinematography, but I had a hell of a time watching this without wanting to throw the remote at the screen every few minutes in disgust of the bad characterization.
Ultimately disappointing.
