The Witness (2019) User Reviews

Good Thriller

[picobenguet · 7/10 · 6 April 2021]

Excellent in most parts, gripping story, but ending stretches too far in believability. On the other hand, this ending was true to usual thrillers, you know, where protagonists start to do dumb stuff ...

A remake of the Korean film (2011)

A remake of the Korean film (2011), though I prefer the Korean version.

underrated japanese crime thriller!

The film started slow but as the story unraveled it got more and more intense and brutal... yes, the japanese-style kind of brutal, and some of the scenes were extremely graphic so beware squeamish peeps! It kept us on the edge of our seats so overall it was an entertaining film.

My Brain Hurts (Spoilers alert!)

I don't understand why this movie gets 6.8 rating!

Decent acting? Sure.

Production? Pretty good.

Story line? Horrible.

Maybe if they classified it as a comedy, I would understand.

Don't you hate it when filmmakers think their audiences are stupid?! This is one of those movies where the main girl runs around for her life but the baddie walks calmly and somehow catches up with her.

It's one those movies, where SWAT team used to go to the bad guy's empty apartment but when they found out where he is, only one cop goes with a blind girl and a teenager! My brain hurts!! Hurts really bad!

Good underrated movie

This is actually a good thriller, one of the well made japanese movies you will see. Although its a bit improbable the plot is rather solid with convincing acting, unlike those typical japanese films with exaggerated emotions, boring and silly stories that doesnt make sense. This is a good movie thats deserves better rating and less known perhaps due to the lack of marketing or big stars.
